There is only my own .vimrc, and it matches the output of BufReadPost:

--- Auto-Commands ---
filetypedetect BufRead
* if !did_filetype() && expand("<amatch>") !~
g:ft_ignore_pat | runtime! scripts.vim | endif
* if !did_filetype() && expand("<amatch>") !~
g:ft_ignore_pat && (getline(1) =~ '^#' || getline(2) =~ '^#' ||
getline(3) =~ '^#'^I|| getline(4) =~ '^#' || getline(5) =~ '^#') |
setf conf | endif
BufRead
* if line("'\"") > 0 && line("'\"") <= line("$") | exe
"normal g`\"" | endif

I know this autocommand is correct, not only by inspection, but also
because the cursor position jumps to the end of line 1 when I do...
:doau BufReadPost *
...after the file has loaded. I loaded the file with verbose=9 to see
whether there were something that might be clobbering the position,
but didn't notice anything suspicious. Here's the output, beginning
with the cursor restoration autocommand (<<< >>> comments
interspersed):

Executing BufRead Auto commands for "*"
autocommand if line("'\"") > 0 && line("'\"") <= line("$") | exe
"normal g`\"" | endif

<<< I verified with echomsg that col("'\"") is correct at this point
>>>

Executing BufEnter Auto commands for "*"
autocommand call s:checkForBrowse(expand("<amatch>"))

Executing BufEnter Auto commands for "*"
autocommand silent call <SID>MRUPush()

Executing CursorMoved Auto commands for "*"
autocommand call s:Highlight_Matching_Pair()

<<< Cursor is at beginning of line at this point >>>

<<< However, doing...
doau BufReadPost *
...at this point moves the cursor to the end of the line
