As strange as it may sound, I think both are correct. 

In 9.1, Org puts point at the location where you can start to edit the
definition right away. If you want to "jump back", you can use the Org
mark ring, or simply move backward -- a single character is enough but
you can also move to the beginning of the line -- and use `C-c C-c'
again.

In 8.2, point is at a location where `C-c C-c' operates right away, but
you still have to move forward to start editing the definition.

My gut feelings is the current behaviour is slightly better, but YWWV.

WDYT?

This typo is not present in the latest manual.
