You might misunderstand the spec of searchpos().
When the 'e' flag is specified, the cursor moves to the last character of
the match and searchpos() returns the position of the cursor. It means
that the returned value is a byte index of start of the last character,
not the end of the character.

Can you show an example?
match()/matchend() return a byte offset, not a character count.

FYI, matchstrpos() can be used to get both start and end position
after 7.4.1685.
