Yes.

If point was at position A and is going to position B and both positions map
to the same screen position, then my code moves point to B+1 (or B-1
depending on the direction, of course).  That's not always correct, but at
that level (i.e. without knowing what the command intended to do) it's
difficult to do any better.

But yes, we can sometimes reach point A and sometimes point B (both ends of
a non-sticky invisible extent of text) depending on how the user gets to
this text.  For sticky invisible text, this should not happen.

For invisible-with-ellipsis text, the behavior is slightly different since
movement from A to B can be seen on screen (except for the fact that the
display code is buggy in this respect and always displays the cursor after
the ellipsis).
