I cannot reproduce the bug:

emacs -Q
;; Evaluate following form
(let* ((str ";; ((right))((left))")
       (expected ";; ((left))((right))")
       (result (with-temp-buffer
                 (insert str)
                 (transpose-regions 6 11 15 19)
                 (buffer-string))))
  (string= result expected))
=> t

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I've fixed the bug replacing a single `memcpy' with `memmove' (function
`Ftranspose_regions' in file `editfns.c'). The bug is already fixed for the
next version (bug #19213).

Thanks for the patience.
