Indeed without SYNC_INPUT it's clearly unsafe (not just because of
move_gap).

And to tell you the truth, I'm not sure either what is safe with
SYNC_INPUT and what isn't.

This said, it shouldn't be difficult to change make_buffer_string_both
such that it doesn't need to move the gap, at which point I think it
would be OK.
