I'll make a note about that in the documentation. Long version: I was able to replicate this on Debian stable, using the exact same versions as you did. Then I tried the latest ansible 2.7.18 (the latest in the 2.7.x series), installed with "pip install ansible==2.7.18 --user". Still, the exact same issue. Then, still on Debian stable, I tried 2.8.20 (installed with "pip install ansible==2.8.20 --user"), and the playbook execution completed successfully. I went through the 2.7x. and 2.8.x changelogs, and I could not spot one clear entry about the change in behavior though.
