      | 1. With the cursor adjacent to the right of any bar,
       |   if you move forwards a line (^N), the cursor slips to column 0.
        | 2. Moving backwards (^P) with the cursor in the same place, however,
         |   doesn't have this problem - it sticks near the boundary.

#1 is clearly a bug.  C-n should be symmetrical with C-p.

        | 3. Moving forwards or backwards with the cursor to the right of the
       |     boundary *not* adjacent does regular sticky-column behavior.

That is correct.

      | 4. Forwards with the cursor on or to the bar's left leaves it in column 
0.

That is a bug.  It should be sticky except staying to the left of the bar.

     | 5. Backwards in the same situation moves it to the right of the bar.

That is correct behavior.

    6. ^A from anywhere beyond the immediate right of the boundary moves to
       the immediate right, and subsequently advances to the far left.

That is correct behavior.

So it looks like C-p works but C-n doesn't.

Yidong, would you like to fix this, then ack?
