Between that bug and all the others that have been marked as a duplicate of it I think it's safe to say that it is the same issue.
I thought it seemed somewhat familiar and I now am reasonably sure that I have seen and researched it before but had forgotten the outcome. Turning off Caret Mode works for me, as observed in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318973#c9. Having forgotten that I've most likely either enabled Caret Mode inadvertently, or the cat did it and I failed to notice. Thanks again for the pointer.
