Oh, indeed, it sets last_boundary_buffer but not last_undo_buffer!
Duh!

IIUC the reason is for modifications in another buffer that take place
either within a command or between commands (e.g. process output), so
they don't accumulate arbitrarily within a single undo-boundary.

E.g. if you have a command "add timestamp to log buffer" which you
typically use from another buffer then, without this logic, running this
command 100 times would result in all entries in the buffer being lumped
together into a single undo-unit, so you couldn't undo them separately.
