Consider below code flow:
FILE *fp = fopen("foobar", "w+");
fputs("hello", fp);
rewind(fp);
fgetc(fp);
ungetc('x', fp);
fputs("world", fp);
off = ftello(fp);
In this code snippet, 'off' will be 10 at last which should be 5 and
file 'foobar's content will be 'helloworld' which is not correct.
The reason is that when do read, we will try our best to get more data
to fill user-provided and the default stream buffer so that the
underlying file offset may not be consistent with stream offset.
As an example above, 'fgetc' will read the whole 5 bytes from 'foobar'
even though we just would like to read one char.
And when we switch to write, we need to adjust the file offset by
decreasing the size of already buffered but not readed data.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This line produces UB. You can't perform a write after ungetc without
an intervening successful seek (or hitting EOF).

I don't think this has something to do with ungetc or UB.
If don't call ungetc and replace fputs with others, like fwrite or fputc, the result of ftell or final file content is not correct.

You cannot switch between reading and writing on a stream that's open
for both without a successful seek in between, unless the read ended
with hitting EOF. You're right that if you remove the ungetc, the UB
is still there because fgetc is still there. Removing both, or putting
a seek after them but before the fputs, will make things work as
expected.
For details see 7.21.5.3 The fopen function, ¶7:
"When a file is opened with update mode ('+' 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, or rewind), 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."

Gotcha. Thanks for detailed explanation.
