I'm unable to reproduce this in Emacs 28 or Emacs 26.3.  Could you give
a more detailed recipe, starting from "emacs -Q"?  Here's what I did:

larsi@xo:~/src/emacs/trunk$ /usr/bin/emacs -Q lisp/abbrev.el lisp/autoarg.el
Went to the "This file is part" file and `C-x r m a RET', and `C-f' to
go to the next line.
`C-x o' to the other buffer.
`C-x r b a RET'.
I'm then popped to the abbrev.el buffer and with point on the correct
line.
