The initial movement of point when visiting the image the first time
is a regression in Emacs 27 due to adding the Exif support: the code
which detects Exif moves point as side effect.  I've now fixed that on
the emacs-27 branch.

Once point moves into the image data, the second "C-c C-c" moves point
to EOB, because we don't let point end up inside a display property.
So this part is not a separate problem, but a side effect of the first
part.
