[not sure if this got out; power's been flakey in this building, and I
 never saw a copy; also, I'm combining a couple of msgs that were
 originally separate]

I guess I failed to mention that C-SPC works fine to set point as long 
as it isn't the first thing I do after C-x C-f or C-x i or whatever.
If I move first, C-SPC works fine.

Now that I'm at the console I've checked, and I can't reproduce in any 
of the versions I previously tested:

o in an X frame
o in a dtterm/xterm/cmdtool/shelltool with -nw
o in a dtterm/xterm/cmdtool/shelltool with DISPLAY unset (just in case 
  there was some subtle difference between this and -nw)

So I guess it has something to do with my setup at home.  I'll try a
few other things, like other emulations besides ANSI, other terminal
programs, etc.  Since it's completely reproducible, it shouldn't be
too difficult to pin it down at least somewhat.

Sure is odd behavior...
