As explained already, some abbrevs will want to move point and that is
done within abbrev-insert.

Please give us more information about your particular use.
I.e. I can't help you much further until you answer the question I asked
at the very beginning:

>> Observe that point ^ is now before the ()s.
> Right.  The question now is: why is that a problem?
