Research direction
Reproduce the issue by expanding div.example<Tab> in insert mode with Emmet, then pressing Esc to enter normal mode. Start by tracing the insert-to-normal transition and Emmet expansion handling; done means the cursor remains between the expanded opening and closing tags instead of jumping to the line end.
