OK. I think I understand. To my best knowledge the following code
should make only position 11 visible.

        (put-text-property 6 11 'invisible t)
        (add-text-properties 6 11 '(rear-nonsticky t front-sticky t))
        (add-text-properties 5 6 '(rear-nonsticky t))

But Emacs 21.3.50 treats as insertion in position 6 is visible.

Do I misunderstand something? Is there really a way to make only
position 11 visible?

You are right. Emacs 20.7 and 21.3 returns different position according
to the previous cursor motion.
