What is re-dump Emacs? Recompile from scratch? You don't mean dump-emacs
function, do you?

I have just evaluated the new functions that Drew has supplied. Also
loaded the whole simple.el with load-buffer. Tried the new functions and
they didn't work + all other misbehavior. Same effect in both cases.

Beginning-of-line and end-of-line are C built-ins. Drew's functions are
elisp. My guess is that that might matter even when recompiling emacs.
