Thanks, Michael.

I'm afraid, I can't yet reproduce this.  This is with an Emacs from
23dd27a97953bab3ffab86dcc83b4e3b139657aa.  Here is what I did:

emacs -Q
C-x C-f test.el RET
M-x eval-buffer RET
M-: (test-create-indirect)
C-x b *test* RET
;; Add "- 1" to line 2
M-: (test-commit-indirect) RET
C-x b test.el RET

The lines at the top of the file are as expected

;; one
;; two - 1
;; three

(setq test-beg 1
...

Did I miss something?
