Thanks @kernc for reporting this. This is very useful. Let me try to turn your example into an additional test...

[mwouts]

The fix is on branch v0.7.0, but that branch is not stable yet, so I do not recommend that you use it now. Please wait a few more days before I can release it... Thanks

[mwouts]

A prerelease is available. Try it with:

pip install jupytext==0.7.0rc0

[kernc]

Verified works great. Thanks!
