package-install-from-buffer moves the point to somewhere in the package
header, because it moves around there as it parses the header entries.
This is pretty annoying when developing and testing a package.
This could be fixed by wrapping the body of package-buffer-info into
save-excursion. This worked well for me, but it somehow broke several
tests in package-test.el in ways that I don't understand. E.g.,
Test package-test-describe-package condition:
(wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p "Trace/BPT trap: 5")
FAILED 4/19 package-test-describe-package
Any ideas?

This is due to calls to some `lm-*' functions inside
`package-buffer-info' (possibly one of the calls I added myself
yesterday). I can just wrap those in save-excursions, but I'm thinking
that the `lm-*' functions themselves should not be moving the point.
Shall I use save-excursion inside those functions instead?

Well, there is also a goto-char call right at the top of
package-buffer-info. But I agree that the lm-* functions should
probably save the point themselves, too. There are some calls to
save-excursion in lisp-mnt.el, but it seems it's not applied consistently.

Clearly I should stop replying to messages on my phone where I can't
look at the code first. :)

Yes. `lm-header' always moves point to the header (besides returning
it). All the others I looked through seem to be fine.

Did you (or someone) have a chance to work on this?

Regrettably, no.
Feel free to do it if you'd like. It's really just a matter of fixing the
tests that fail when you save excursion.
