Tried the test with following text with numbers removed.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
def f(filepath):
 print(
   1filepath2)3
4
5def g(arg):
 return arg
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

With buffer in python mode, I executed org-cycle at the positions marked with
numbers and got the results below:

at 1,2,3: nothing happens
at 4: inserts a tab (four spaces in my case)
at 5: eats the line with "return arg" (also can not revert this change
with undo.)

The buffer "looks" as if it ends at "def g(arg):" line but when I tried to
paste the resultant buffer with "return arg" removed, I got the following
strange result.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
def f(filepath):
   print(
       filepath)

def g(arg):
   return arg
   return arg

   return arg

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I tried it several times, also tried saving the buffer and opening it in that
other editor as well.

Tested with git commit 5834ad01b617430c0207627ad425758bcf9b921a of
"Tue Aug 11 16:32:05 2009 +0200"
