Given the fact that I have never seen such a situation in practice,
I figured it was safer to not impose any such constraint (i.e. stay closer
to the previous behavior where point could be anywhere betwen A and B).

If you want to add this new behavior where B is always off-limit, then be
careful to only add it if the invisible text has no ellipsis.

If the invisibility is sticky at one end, then this end is basically marked
as "off-limits".
