The same thing appears to happen with `vertical-motion'. Calling it  
with point at the first couple of characters of a visual line behaves  
as if word-wrap wasn't enabled at all.  I don't know if that's due to  
the same bug.

That's at least one of the things that prevents visual-line-mode from  
working with word wrapping.
