bug#16148: Cursor stuck on line ending w/ visual-order-cursor movement - move-point-visually fails.

[David Reitter]

With a certain combination of settings, cursor movement to the left fails at 
the (right) end of lines:

Emacs -Q -nw

[Enter and evaluate the following:]

        (whitespace-newline-mode 1)
        (global-hl-line-mode 1)
        (setq visual-order-cursor-movement t)

[Then press left-arrow repeatedly.  Cursor will get "stuck" on a line ending.]


Further observations:
- the "-nw" is not necessary - this is just to simplify things.
- `hl-line-mode' alone does not suffice - it has to the be 
`global-hl-line-mode'.



Second, simpler recipe:

Emacs -Q -nw

[Enter and evaluate the following:]

        (whitespace-newline-mode 1)

Place cursor at end of line, then M-: (move-point-visually -1)  RET.
Nothing happens.
