Probably some poorly written package which sets up a global binding
rather than a local one.
When you bump into this problem, check whether C-a is still bound to
move-beginning-of-line. If it is, check the definition of
move-beginning-of-line. In doubt, you can hit C-u M-C-x in the source
code so that next time you C-a, you'll be put into step-by-step
debugging to see where it goes wrong,
