So I went through the same steps as before:
1. Pulled the latest Emacs Org Mode
2. Ran the following command in a terminal to get a clean Emacs without a config:
emacs -Q -L ./lisp -l org
3. Create a new org file
4.. Type (literally) the following:
* test
5. You will get a file containing "* test" exactly, no newline at the
end
6. Do _not_ save the file
7. I then set the 'org-log-into-drawer' variable to true by evaluating the following environment variable with 'M-:':
'M-:' (setq org-log-into-drawer t)
This returned 't' in the minibuffer.
8. I then used C-c C-c, and received the following example output:
```
* tes
:LOGBOOK:
- Note taken on [2022-06-27 Mon 22:38] \\
Adding note with org-log-into-drawer enabled
:END:
t
```
Let me know if this is the desired output in that respect, or if this fulfills the weird edge case present.
Thanks,
Sam

The offending function is different. This piece of code is admittedly
slightly tricky - org-add-log-setup does not determine where the note
will be inserted. It defers note taking to org-add-log-note, which, in
turn defers saving the note text to the time user presses C-c C-c in the
note buffer.
The function doing the actual insertion is org-store-log-note and the
function determining where to insert the note is org-log-beginning.
Note that the patch I attached in my earlier message contains the fix.
What is left is studying a similar edge case reported in the reply to my
patch:

That is, you need to follow the same steps, but set org-log-into-drawer
to t before creating a note.
