We are mis-communicating, I think.  I meant to say that when there's a
character at the fill-column position (i.e., the line is longer than
fill-column), we display the character there, not the indicator.  What
you show is what happens when the fill-column is after EOL, in which
case there's no character shown at the fill-column, and no problem to
display the indicator instead of that no-character.
