I've been unable to reproduce this, but I suspect that
-glyphIndexForPoint:... and NSTextView are disagreeing about what the
return value should be. I'll have a closer look at it to see if I can
figure it out.

There's no insertion point at the moment. I'm working on parsing the
docs so I can figure out how to handle all cases (the existence of
public methods for this only makes it harder).
