Comment (by spocke):

 The bug here seems to be in the hasTextContent function in /wp-
 includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wpeditimage/plugin.js that function checks if
 the link has any text contents however since the introduction of the
 inline boundaries for links there is a character in there to place the
 caret the zwnbsp char or \ufeff so the function needs to trim those. So
 the function should be something like:
 {{{
 function hasTextContent( node ) {
   return node && !! ( node.textContent || node.innerText
 ).replace(/\ufeff/g, '');
 }
 }}}
