Unreproducible with

emacs -Q -eval '(progn (insert "\t" (make-string 50 ?x) "\t" (make-string 50 
?x)) (goto-char 85) (vertical-motion 1))'

and a build from today:

In GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.8.16)
 of 2006-06-11 on neutrino
X server distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.60802000
configured using `configure '--with-gtk''

Assuming a window width of 80 characters and a fixed-width font
(-Bitstream-Terminal-Medium-R-Normal--18-140-100-100-C-110-ISO8859-1
to be precise).

After executing the command above, point will be at the end of the
line.
