Please don't skip the following four lines:

        len = pend + 1 - p;                                             \
        PARSE_MULTIBYTE_SEQ (p, len, bytes);                            \
        if (bytes == len)                                               \
          pos_byte -= len - 1;                                          \

which handles the above case.  When we at last reach a
char-head, PARSE_MULTIBYTE_SEQ checks how long the byte
sequence should be.  We update pos_byte only if the length
is the same as what we decreased.
