Lots of inverting selections and pasting involved.
No. Ctrl-X+Ctrl-V works perfectly fine for me (2.8.22), not a single pixel of mispositioning, the pasted strip is exactly above the gap carved in the source layer. If it were not for the Layers list I could think that nothing happened. Unless.... I am too fast and I'm doing this again while the Floating selection of the previous Ctrl-V is still up, in which case things can get strange.
If you are on 2.9, maybe it's a 2.9 bug.
