I see, thanks for the clarification.
What really had me confused was that, when your cursor is
in that position (the first X), `describe-char' claims:
>There are text properties here:
> cursor-intangible t
Perhaps the manual entry explaining this property should
clarify the nuances of the usual character after point v.
this concept of point being between the characters.
Still, I find this behavior odd from an usability standpoint.
I did some grep'ing in the core and ELPA packages to see how
often the workaround of front/rear-nonsticky is used.
>From a glance I could only find a couple of packages explicitly
doing that, but then again you can count the amount of packages
extensively using `cursor-intangible' on the fingers of one hand.
All in all, not a very conclusive search besides confirming
the current behavior is indeed desirable in some situations.
