I grepped the Emacs tree. There's only ten instances of
(insert (with-temp-buffer ...))
But there's over 200 instances of
(with-temp-buffer ... (buffer-string))
where some of them basically eventually translate to inserting that into
the current buffer -- some of which do the `insert-into-buffer' contortion
themselves.
