The point and the cursor are separate items. (The point may
occasionally be set to the cursor when the user edits, but is
not guaranteed to be at the cursor position)

  GTK_EDITABLE (text)->current_pos

is the approved way of finding out the cursor position. (I'm
not saying that this state of affairs is ideal, but it is
the way it is now.)
