Thanks for fixing this! Refiling is working well now. Could you explain
what you mean by a "buggy behavior of org-paste-subtree." AFAIK,
org-paste-subtree has always pasted the subtree above the current tree
if the point is at the beginning of the headline. Is there something in
the documentation that suggests that this should not be the case? I
believe this behavior is consistent with
org-insert-heading-respect-content, which inserts a new heading above
the current heading if called at the beginning of a headline. For
instance, in the following example...

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* One
  Text in one
* Two
  Text in two
** Subpoint two
   Text in subpoint two.
* Three
  Text in three
* Four
  Text in four
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If I kill headline four, move the point to the beginning of headline
three, and yank (i.e., call org-paste-subtree), I get the following,
which seems to me correct:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* One
  Text in one
* Two
  Text in two
** Subpoint two
   Text in subpoint two.
* Four
  Text in four

* Three
  Text in three
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Similarly, if I place the cursor on three and call
org-insert-heading-respect-content (M-RET), the new headline is inserted
above the headline:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* One
  Text in one
* Two
  Text in two
** Subpoint two
   Text in subpoint two.
* 
* Three
  Text in three
* Four
  Text in four
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best,
Matt
