this is to be expected. The last sentence in the second paragraph below

:help i_CTRL-\_CTRL-O

documents that cursor position is *not* restored after the command
following i_CTRL-\_CTRL-O.

The difference is visible immediately after

ihello<c-o>

and

ihello<c-\><c-o>

In the first case the cursor is moved back to the 'o', while in the
second case it stays after the 'o'. More examples:

ohello<c-o>:echo col('.')<cr>

will print '5', while

ohello<c-\><c-o>:echo col('.')<cr>

will print '6' although the line only has 5 letters.

Regards,
Jürgen
