BTW, coming back to my example:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun my-test-change-groups ()
  (interactive)
  (insert "0\n") ;; try to comment this line
  (let ((g (prepare-change-group)))
    (activate-change-group g)
    (insert "b\n")
    (insert "c\n")
    (cancel-change-group g)))
#+end_src

if you comment the line including the `insert' call before the change
group is prepared the thing works as expected.  So there is a problem
with this insertion (in the same command?) before preparing the group,
or this is actually not allowed but not documented accordingly.
