Nope: when it gets written, the `function` macro returns:
(function <THESYMWITHPOS>)
so the macro is immediately called again with the *exact* same
<THESYMWITHPOS>, so the second time the `function` macro is called, the
cache does hit (and it's the only case where it should hit), making the
second call to the macro return the *exact* `eq`-same
(function <THESYMWITHPOS>)
list which is the trick that stops the infinite macroexpansion loop.
Next time the `function` macro is invoked with a "similar" sympos the
cache should *not* match because we don't want to accidentally replace
(function <SOMESYMWITHPOS>)
with
(function <THESYMWITHPOS>)

That's right.

There might. The current hack is the best I could come up with.

I can't see how to separate one from the other here: the introduction of
the incorrect SWP is due to treating the two SWP as `eq`.

Agreed.

I'm not completely sure we agree yet on what is "the original bug", but
obviously I agree with your sentence :-)
