This also happens in todo-mode version 1.34, which I use in Emacs
20.7.  In fact, 'I' makes the insertion wherever the cursor happens to
be in the item, even in the middle of a word.  But note that the
function is called 'todo-insert-item-here' and its docstring says:
"Insert new TODO list entry under the cursor."  So perhaps that's just
what the author wanted.  Nevertheless, I agree with you that
this behavior is usually undesirable; the attached patch does what you
want.
