Thank you for your efforts.

It strikes me that a much more efficient way of finding who moves
point would be by setting a watchpoint on that buffer's value of
point, with commands like this:

 xbacktrace
 continue
 end

Then, whenever point changes in that buffer, you should see a Lisp
backtrace which will show the offending code.

Let me know if you need further help with setting up such a watchpoint
in GDB.
