Me too.  I've been using Stefan's patch (which just turns on
visual-movement globally) since he posted it, and aside from the
aformentioned weird behavior of C-a/C-e (which is clearly just a bug), I
find I don't even _notice_.

While it's true that redefining basic commands is frowned-upon in
general, C-a/C-e/C-n/C-p have long had special "interactive" versions
that do funny things to make the user happy, with lisp code using more
basic primitives.  I don't think it would be a stretch to just commit a
bug-fixed and extended version of Stefan's patch.
