I've now added a work-around for this in undo-tree-mode (currently only
in git, but I'll push to ELPA once it's sufficiently tested).
I'm still not entirely convinced that the boundary discarding logic in
org-self-insert-command is correct. For example, if I do the following:
1. Type some text at some location in an org-mode buffer
2. Move to another location very far away
(without invoking any commands other than point motion)
3. Type some more text
then org-self-insert-cluster-for-undo collapses the undo changesets for
these two changes into one. Undoing then reverts both sets of changes at
once, even though those changes might be so far apart that they aren't
both visible at the same time in the buffer.
That seems very undesirable to me.
But as I can work around it in undo-tree-mode, I'll leave it up to
Bastien to decide whether or not this feature needs reworking in
org-mode.
Best,
Toby
