   emacs -Q

   (progn (goto-char (point-min)) (forward-line 1)
     (let ((ol (make-overlay (point) (point)))
           (str "TOTO"))
       (put-text-property 0 1 'cursor 1 str)
       (overlay-put ol 'after-string str)))

Then do:

   M-<
   C-n

Notice that the cursor is drawn at EOL whereas it should be drawn at BOL.

   C-f C-f

this confirms that point really is where we want it to be, it's only the
cursor drawing code which is playing tricks.

This bug is visible in rectangle-mark-mode when the cursor is at BOL
right in front of a TAB and the other side of the rectangle ends in the
middle of that TAB.
