I'm terribly sorry; I fixed it in my build and then... I forgot to
push :-(

I reverted Stephan's tentative fix, which was papering over the deeper
issue (see below).

Yes, that's exactly the problem. The definition of nStartPosOffset was
inverted:

if ( nNewStartPos < m_nStartPos )
{   // need to fill data *before* m_nStartPos
  if ( nNewEndPos > m_nStartPos )
  {   // The two regions are overlapping.
     (...)
     const sal_Int32 nStartPosOffset = nNewStartPos - m_nStartPos; // by how much m_nStartPos moves
     (...)
  }
}

As the first if condition clearly shows, the positive value is
m_nStartPos - nNewStartPos, not the opposite.
