I have also recently migrated from 21.3 to 22.1 but I can't replicate your problem. Both ^ and clicking on .. work for me. I don't understand the nature of the OBJECT expected by (number-or-marker-p) [or the curiously named (markerp {no hyphen}). Both seem to need function arguments. I would expect (number-or-marker-p 9543) to return t and it does! How did 9543 get into parentheses? Using argument (9543) doesn't return nil but "invalid function." Lose your .emacs temporarily { runemacs -Q -q } and see if you still have the problem. Ed, no expert.
