This is not a bug.

You insert too many characters in that line.  Insert only 79 of them,
including the semi-colon, and you will see the newline overflow into
the right fringe, as documented.

When one of the fringes is missing, the display engine reserves one
column for the continuation glyph, so you have one column less for
characters.  For more details about this, see

  http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=19395#32

and a few follow-ups after that.

If you want to avoid losing 1 full column, set the left fringe to 1
pixel, not zero.

According to overflow-newline-into-fringe's docstring, when point is
that the end of a line that is as wide as the frame the point should
be displayed in the right fringe.

However, it seems that on 25.0.50 (with -Q), it requires both the
right *and* the left fringe to be non-empty. If the left fringe is
empty, the newline does not overflow into the right fringe, as the
documentation and common sense says it should.

(setq overflow-newline-into-fringe t)
(dolist (x '((cursor-type . box)
             (cursor-color . "red")
             (width . 80)
             (left-fringe . 8) ; change this to 0
             (right-fringe . 8)))
  (set-frame-parameter (selected-frame) (car x) (cdr x)))
;; (progn (insert "\n;") (dotimes (x 79) (insert ?x)))
