bug#17346: 24.4.50; Why is the goal column limited to C-n and C-p ?

I've just tested them here again [1], and they don't preserve the
column for me.   I've tried with and without a goal column defined,
and in both cases the point is placed at the left margin whenever they
jump to another line.

As I say, I can reproduce the problem with every vertical-scrolling
command I've tried (except C-p/C-n): scroll-up-command,
scroll-down-command, scroll-bar-toolkit-scroll, mwheel-scroll.
