> Is this a real buffer corruption, or just the display corruption?

It is a real buffer corruption. I made the second gist by C-x h, M-w and
pasting it to the browser.
If I change the size of the frame or the window configuration, I still have
a corrupted buffer.

> Also, how do you invoke Emacs to reproduce the problem?

By evaluating the code in the first gist.

I use emacs-jedi (https://github.com/tkf/emacs-jedi). So does the original
reporter.
Since the problem occurs frequently, I can find strings file-content1 and
file-content2 in the first gist.
As for the function my/add-to-after-change-functions, I looked into the
source of emacs-jedi and wrote a similar code.

> Finally, does the problem go away if you set your locale to something
> else, like en_US.UTF-8?

No. I can also reproduce it in the live session of Xubuntu 14.04, where
LANG=en_US.UTF-8.
Here is the output of M-x report-emacs-bug in Emacs 24.3 in the live
session.

This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list
and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org.  Please check that
the From: line contains a valid email address.  After a delay of up
to one day, you should receive an acknowledgment at that address.

Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators for other languages.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and
the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give a recipe
starting from `emacs -Q':



If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file
