True, but is this because of the position protection or simply the result of
position area?

True, but toggling protect position on/off doesn't make a difference for this
to happen, as far I'm aware.. However the absolute position has changed. 
I'm not saying the behaviour being incorrect, more that someone could assume
that the shape/image being fixated at a certain spot in any situation.

Yes it's matter of taste. The current behaviour is actually the intended one, I
guess. Protect size/position is a lock against in document modifications by
moving the shape with arrows/or mouse or resizing the shape with handles. At
least that's what I think the position/ size lock being about.

The only thing I'm concerned about is proper label. Protect actually is:
Protect against in document modifications..  or at least assume this being the
actual purpose of the checkboxes (protect position/ protect size). The current
UI doesn't reflect that (nor the documentation). But well I'm one of those who
like self-explaining UI above pointing to documentation.
