Not sure what you mean "the same", but the value returned by `(point)`
above should not depend on where you are in *Packages* when you do the
`e` or what you do the `U`.  The `U` command will go through the
*Packages* buffer collecting info on each line, and the above `e`
command should tell you at which buffer position it bumped into
a problem.

In any case, I think we need more info about your situation.
E.g. can you reproduce it from `emacs -Q`?
If not, try to reduce your Emacs's init file as much as possible until
you find a recipe to reproduce the problem starting from `emacs -Q`.
