Yes, I have run into args-out-of-range errors in revert-buffer (that's
how I found the problem).  It's very rare though.

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (args-out-of-range 720381)
  insert-file-contents("[...]" t nil nil t)
  revert-buffer(nil t)

(If you want to be conservative on the branch, just make the BUF_SET_PT
--> BUF_TEMP_SET_PT change.)
