bug#48294: Use 'with-current-buffer' byte-compiler warning seems wrong

Hi:

I get a lot of these byte-compile warnings in my Elisp code:

hbut.el:683:26:Warning: Use ‘with-current-buffer’ rather than
    save-excursion+set-buffer

but since with-current-buffer does not save the value of point, it is
not a valid substitute for save-excursion and should not be suggested.
Evaluate the two samples below and you will see that they are not
equivalent.  If I am correct, I'd like this suggestion disabled.  Thanks.  -- rsw

(save-excursion
  (set-buffer (current-buffer))
  (forward-char 20))

(with-current-buffer (current-buffer)
  (forward-char 20))
