Like I said, you cannot rely on that:

      else if ((op & MOVE_TO_X) && it->current_x >= to_x)
        {                                       ^^^^
          result = MOVE_X_REACHED;
          break;
        }

IOW, the exact pixel position is not always what you want in the case
in point.  All you know it's not _before_ X.
