Since by default the `invisible' text-property is rear-sticky and
front-non-sticky, if you insert a char before the "l" of "line3" it will be
invisible, whereas if you insert a char in front of the "l" of "line2" it
will not be invisible. For this reason, the cursor-movement code tries to
place point in front of "line2" rather than in front of "line3".
C-e should not presume anything about the visibility of surrounding text.
