I don't agree that using visual-line movement in a macro makes the
macro "unusable".  But I don't mind supporting your use case.  As I
said earlier, we could add a special value of line-move-visual, which
would mean "move by visual lines, except when executing macros", which
would I think solve your problem.  I just thought that adding a hook
could cater to a more general class of use cases, that's all.
