I suppose I have noticed a similar thing at the beginning of lines. Not only are the letter statistics there different, but it sometimes looks as though the letters are half detached from the following words. It seems to me (in those cases) almost as if the writer has considered what letter should appear, it not being immediately obvious to them for some reason.
The same could be occurring here. That rather than a letter being inserted later, there has been a pause or slight disjunction(?) in the flow of the writing. So rather than writing, "word, word, word", they wrote, "word, letter, word" -- the letter being a separate 'thought' just like a word would be, despite being attached to a word.
I recently wrote a hypothesis that, due to being a newly written language, the writer wasn't wholly sure just how different aspects of the whole language he was writing should actually be represented. Or, a least, was aware of linguistic ambiguities that were never easily resolvable.
