I think you've reported this a couple of times before?  And it's fixed
in Emacs 28:

---
This is a minor mode.  If called interactively, toggle the
‘Visual-Line mode’ mode.  If the prefix argument is positive, enable
the mode, and if it is zero or negative, disable the mode.

If called from Lisp, toggle the mode if ARG is ‘toggle’.  Enable the
mode if ARG is nil, omitted, or is a positive number.  Disable the
mode if ARG is a negative number.

So I'm closing this bug report.
