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."
