Sorry, but I cannot give a recipe to repro this yet.
Somehow, it is suddenly the case (with my setup, but only with
recent builds, perhaps just the latest I have, 2013-01-25 -
that's where I noticed it) that with even something as simple as
M-x forward-char or M-: (forward-char), and even if I use C-g to
cancel such (e.g., just M-x C-g), point gets moved to another
location. I need not hit C-g - the same thing happens with
M-x forward-char RET.
The location seems unpredictable, and I don't know what makes it change.
It is not the mark, in any case. And this happens even with Icicle mode
turned off (I mention that because Icicles has its own M-x and M-:.)
And it doesn't matter how I set point - mouse-1 or C-f etc.
And it does not matter whether I set mark at point. Something makes
exiting from the minibuffer warp point to another location.
The target location stays the same, but something (dunno what)
can make it change to a different mysterious location.
If I scroll the window so the mysterious target location is off
window, the cursor still gets warped to it (and thus the window is
scrolled to show it).
HTH. Sorry I don't have more info about this yet.
Anyone else seeing anything like this?

Can you try reproducing this from "emacs -Q"?
I'm guessing that some redisplay change made lately goofed, but it's
hard to look for it without a recipe.

No, I don't think so. Not until I find out more about it. If & when I do, I'll
let you know.

With luck more people will run into it and we'll learn more. Sooner or later we
will perhaps be able to repro it simply, from emacs -Q.
For now, the bug report is just a heads-up. Perhaps it will help as is, ringing
a bell for someone who made recent changes. So far, I've seen this in a build
from 1/25, but not yet in a build from 1/22. (Doesn't mean I won't encounter it
with 1/22, just saying that's what I've seen so far.)

That was a year ago, so I'm closing this bug. Please reopen if further
progress can be made.
