Oh, yes, it's a bug in the change-groups code: the undo entries for
(insert "0\n"), (insert "b\n"), and (insert "c\n") are merged into
a single entry in the undo log (as a form of optimization).
The change-group code should prevent such a merge, e.g. by adding some
dummy undo element which will work like a "fence".

Can you file this as a proper bug report (and put me in X-Debbugs-Cc)?
