bug#2319: 23.0.90; search and replace does not move the point correctly

emacs -Q
ESC-300 _ THERE
C-a 
C-k
C-y (20 times, to get the line *very* long)
M-<
M-% THERE  <enter> here <enter>
<space> until the curson does not move to the correct point.  "THERE" had 
actually been replace with "here", but the user can't controll the process.

The same happens when yanking for the 14th time.
