I would guess that this is because save-excursion uses markers, and
those markers then get invalidated by shell-command-on-region.
I think so.
But
it's still a little weird. Is this a bug?
I think it is simply inevitable. If all the text is replaced,
Emacs has no way of knowing what new position corresponds in any sense
to some old position.
