Here is the culprit:

(defun log-edit-insert-message-template ()
  "Insert the default VC commit log template with Summary and Author."
  (interactive)
  (when (or (called-interactively-p 'interactive)
            (log-edit-empty-buffer-p))
    (insert "Summary: ")
    (when log-edit-setup-add-author
      (insert "\nAuthor: "))
    (insert "\n\n")
    (message-position-point)))

I think it should be the other way around I will try to bring this up on the devel list.
