I don't understand the issue: If I insert, say, the definition of
`mark-defun' into *scratch* as the last thing, go inside it, do M-x
mark-defun RET, the last character gets marked just fine.  Could you
describe how to reproduce the problem you're seeing?

Moreover,

... this last line you're eliding affects the placement of the point,
i.e. the *beginning* of the region, not the end.  Could you clarify?
