I'm unclear about what the complaint is. Both the old and new behaviors
made the auto-refinement do its thing. Is the complaint that the point
no longer moves to the end (and if so, why is that "right"?) or is the
"ding" the "problem?

OK. The logic in place is to auto-refine the hunk at point after a
motion, which is why you're seeing this behavior. Are you seeing this
issue only with the first hunk in a buffer and only when you first load
such a buffer? If so, an auto-refinement call from a diff-mode-hook
would solve this. Sounds reasonable, or are such things frowned-upon?
