Thanks that fixes the bug with the margin. I think this should be the default
behaviour.  posn-at-x-y is dual use: x-y can be pixel or character based
co-ordinates.  I guess there should be some analogy between the two uses and
it is perhap a matter of opinion how that analogy should work.  On a tty, the
mode-line is considered part of the window in this way (this is what makes it
accessible with posn-at-x-y), so it seems natural that the margin is
also. AFAIK, so far posn-at-x-y is only used in tooltip.el and that is pixel
based.

The other bug still seems to be present: the mode-line string seems to be one
character out (I'm a bit confused because your message also seems to imply that
this bug was also fixed).
