If they were after the EOB, they were already bogus to start with.
So there's really not much harm moving them around.  And in any case,
that's what has been happening for ever and has proved safe enough.

I'm not sure what you mean by "losing sub-expressions".  But yes,
I think the behavior of save-match-data you describe is not
a real problem.  Arguably if save-match-data moves positions from
outside BEGV...ZV to inside it it's a problem.  But if it moves them
from outside BEG...Z to inside it, I think it's perfectly fine.

Maybe I'm not 100% satisfied with the behavior either, but I don't think
it's a significant problem and I don't think it'd cause the crash we saw
in bug#23869.

Ah, I see.

Then maybe another fix is to compute newpoint before we call
replace_range, so it uses search_regs.start[sub] before the
*-change-functions can mess it up.  IOW:

    @@ -2726,9 +2726,9 @@ since only regular expressions have distinguished subexpressions.  */)
       unsigned  num_regs = search_regs.num_regs;
     
       /* Replace the old text with the new in the cleanest possible way.  */
    +  newpoint = search_regs.start[sub] + SCHARS (newtext);
       replace_range (search_regs.start[sub], search_regs.end[sub],
     		 newtext, 1, 0, 1);
    -  newpoint = search_regs.start[sub] + SCHARS (newtext);
     
       if (case_action == all_caps)
         Fupcase_region (make_number (search_regs.start[sub]),

Would that be sufficient to avoid the crash?  Why not?
