I actually did look around and didn't find any skeleton where the
change introduced problems.  Then (while pretesting 21.1) someone
pointed out a case where the new behavior was not as good
as before (the position of point after insertion was fine but
the fact that the first @ had not been put on skeleton-positions
was a problem), which I addressed (by adding the position to
skeleton-positions even when it also sets position-point).
