GNU Emacs 18.53.11 on NeXT 1.0.1

undo of fill-paragraph doesn't always leave point at an intuitive
place (the two reasonable possibilities, as far as I can see, are the
"same" place (in the marker sense) or at the last user-visible
modification point).

For instance, take the paragraph "A\nB\nC\nD\nE\n".  Consider the
sequence fill-paragraph undo.  If point starts after A or C, it ends
up after E; if on the line after E, it ends up after A !  The behavior
depends on preceding commands, however in all cases I tried, it was
anomalous.
