Mostly unrelated to the current discussion, but I thought I'd raise that 
anyway: the principle that insertion should happen at cursor location is 
not carved in stone.  It will possibly not hold with bidirectional 
editing: when typing bidirectional text, it sometimes makes sense to 
insert characters not at the cursor (some editors do that).

So I think the possibility that insertion happens not at cursor should 
not be discarded right away: perhaps it makes sense to users in some 
situations.  (I'm not saying that the situations you are discussing are 
such cases.)
