Robert,

I think something changed in the emacspeak-w3m which stops this
workaround for removing that function. However, if you look into the
customize group for w3m, you will find there is a hook variable which
adds that function, so you can just remove it. From memory, it is
w3m-after-cursor-move-hook.
