It sounds like a bug.

Why does that happen? The code looks like it's trying to
correctly
track deletions and insertions by using markers.
It is because call-process-region of that version uses
call-process which inserts the output of a process in the point.
And it deletes the region which is pointed to by markers, after
a process is finished. Markers function rightly. Therefore,
they will be erased if the output of a process is inserted
within limits which markers point to.
It could be that your fix hides another bug, elsewhere in the code,
but I could be mistaken. What do you think?
Probably, the problem is simple and lucid.
