The info docs for replace-region-contents say that it attempts to
preserve point.  With the latest update, it fails to preserve point in
cases where it did before.  I fixed my use case with save-excursion, and
the docs are vague enough that this issue might not qualify as a bug,
but I figured I'd report it just in case it was unintentional, or in
case others come across it.

For example:

(with-temp-buffer
  (insert "abc")
  (replace-region-contents (- (point) 3) (- (point) 2) (lambda () "A"))
  (char-to-string (char-before)))

now returns "A", but I believe that it previously returned "c".
