I don't think I understand the problem well enough yet to answer that
question, especially since you say that your simplified recipe behaves
differently.

What exactly is the problem in the magit case? does it use the value
of point in some way, and if so, how?  IOW, what is "section
highlighting" in magit?

A stab in the dark: there's disable-point-adjustment, which could be
set temporarily, perhaps that could help?
