This can be fixed with:

        (put-text-property beg end 'occur-target m)
        ;; Did we insert a newline?  Occur Edit mode can't create new

The cause:

When switching major-mode (in this case occur-edit-mode), an undo entry
containing text-property only change is added due to this line in
occur-mode:

(add-hook 'change-major-mode-hook 'font-lock-defontify nil t)

That line seems useless due to change made in revid 22063400b. If no one
objects, I intend to also remove it.
