 Core navigation commands fail in a multi-line intangible text with
 fringe

Hi,

 (defun insert-with-fringe ()
   (insert
    "      "
    (concat
     (propertize "fringe" 'display (list 'left-fringe 'filled-square font-lock-doc-face))
     (propertize "dummy" 'display "AAA\n" 'font-lock-face font-lock-doc-face))
    "some more text")
   (previous-line))

Execute (insert-with-fringe). It should position the cursor just in front of the
"AAA" string.

Now (backward-char 1) or (goto-char (1- (point))) don't have any effect, and
(previous-line) goes to bol instead of the previous line.

It has to do with the trailing "\n" in "AAA\n". If that new line is removed,
everything works as expected.
