Yes, now that you mention it, I can see that I misinterpreted what was
happening.  Still, the question is, why do I see the cursor only with
2.8.6dev.7 and not with 2.8.5rel.1.  If it is the display option about
showing the cursor, both indicate is as being OFF in the O)ptions Menu:
  カーソル表示                     : [OFF]

If I set the Cursor display to ON in either 2.8.6dev.7 or 2.8.5rel.1, then
the cursor is in front of the link (left side) on top of the "]", not after
the link (right side).  Setting the Cursor display to ON corrects the
spurious cursor after the link with 2.8.6dev.7.
