Hello Emacs team,
Let me quote a paragraph from the manual page first.
A numeric argument to a transpose command serves as a repeat count:
it tells the transpose command to move the character (word, expression,
line) before or containing point across several other characters (words,
expressions, lines). For example, ‘C-u 3 C-t’ moves the character
before point forward across three other characters. It would change
‘f★oobar’ into ‘oobf★ar’. This is equivalent to repeating ‘C-t’ three
times. ‘C-u - 4 M-t’ moves the word before point backward across four
words. ‘C-u - C-M-t’ would cancel the effect of plain ‘C-M-t’.
I think ‘f★oobar’ becomes ‘foob★ar’ instead of ‘oobf★ar’.
Have a nice day.

No, the manual is correct. I just tried it in the current git master.
