I've installed those changes to emacs-29 and master accordingly.

The question of why this command sets point in the first place is
still outstanding, but I think we'd need a follow-up from Richard
to establish the reason behind that.

In any case, the major issue is now resolved for Emacs 29+.  I'd
happily fix it in the emacs-28 branch as well, on the offchance
that doing so might help someone (as this issue can be harmful if
you're unlucky enough to trigger it); but if that's a no-go then
I think this can be closed.
