Opening a file with fopen in mode a+ will position the stream at the
begining of the file and not at the end.

Read the standard. XPG6 says:
a+ or ab+ or a+b Append; open or create file for update, writing
at end-of-file.
Opening a file with append mode (a as the first character in the
mode argument) shall cause all subsequent writes to the file to be
forced to the then current end-of-file, regardless of intervening
calls to fseek( ).
ISO C99:
a+ append; open or create text file for update, writing at
end-of-file
Opening a file with append mode (theathe as the first character in
the mode argument) causes all subsequent writes to the file to be
forced to the then current end-of-file, regardless of intervening
calls to the fseek function. In some implementations, opening a
binary file with append mode (thebthe as the second or third
character in the above list of mode argument values) may initially
position the file position indicator for the stream beyond the
last data written, because of null character padding.
When a file is opened with update mode (the+the as the second or
third character in the above list of mode argument values), both
input and output may be performed on the associated
stream. However, output shall not be directly followed by input
without an intervening call to the fflush function or to a file
positioning function (fseek, fsetpos,orrewind), and input shall
not be directly followed by output without an intervening call to
a file positioning function, unless the input operation encounters
end-of- file. Opening (or creating) a text file with update mode
may instead open (or create) a binary stream in some
implementations.
I guess you argue "opening a file with fopen in mode a+ will move file
position indicator in a stream at the end", but it's not true.
It's not bug. I close this report.
