27.0.60; electric-pair-mode broken by undo |

Hello,
Commit e66d5a1c45 (2019-02-19T00:00:44Z!address@hidden) might
have introduced a bug. From emacs -Q:
1. C-x b foo RET
2. M-x electric-pair-mode RET
3. (
- A closing parenthesis has been inserted.
4. C-b C-f
- This is to break undo grouping.
5. a
6. C-_
7. (
In Emacs 26.3, buffer foo contains "(())" and point is after the
innermost opening bracket.
In Emacs 27, buffer foo contains "()" and point is after the closing
bracket. The *Messages* buffer shows:
> cancel-change-group: Undoing to some unrelated state
NB: this can be reproduced with other electric-pair characters, e.g. ".
I found the bug in a Python buffer trying to write a tuple of strings: I
opened a parenthesis, forgot to add quotes, wrote a string, hit undo,
tried to insert a single quote… and got moved past the end parenthesis
instead.
I tried to write a non-regression test; unfortunately what I came up
with does not catch this bug reliably:
(ert-deftest electric-pair-undo-unrelated-state ()
(with-temp-buffer
(buffer-enable-undo)
(electric-pair-mode)
(let ((last-command-event ?\())
(self-insert-command 1))
(undo-boundary)
(insert "hi there")
(undo)
(let ((last-command-event ?\())
(self-insert-command 1))))
C-x C-e'ing the (with-temp-buffer …) form only triggers the error once
every two evaluations, for some reason.
Thank you for your time.
