I wonder if this summarizes the issue:

emacs -Q

M-<   ; point at start of *scratch*
C-x b foo

In foo, insert and evaluate:

(with-current-buffer "*scratch*"
  (goto-char (point-max))
  (insert "foo"))

Then

M-x quit-window

In Emacs 23.3, point in *scratch* is now at point-max (after "foo").
In Emacs 24.0.90, it is at point-min.
