The comment is mine, don't trust it.  Emacs 22 records undo information
all through the decoding step.  That's what I wanted to avoid.  But I'm
afraid two insertions get collapsed into one by the undo recording
mechanism and I'm comparing the wrong starting positions.  I don't yet
understand how this happens.
