Ah, so it does. What happens
if you do everything except the last call at the end?
printf("fputc B = %d\n", fputc('B', f));
What happens if you don't read the last byte? I realize
you will need to for the original problem?
What I'm wondering is if somehow reading the byte puts it in
the output buffer.
What happens if you create an initial two byte file, say "AB", and try
to write a 'C'? If you read the B, I guess we expect 'ABBC' at this
point. If you read the 'A', do you get 'ABAC' or something else?
I wish I had a box I could reproduce the problem on (see below).

I mis-quoted. I get the expected two byte 'AB' output on both.
Sorry for what must have been a surprising confusion.
