Unix format has nothing to do with this, as in a buffer we always have
only \n characters at end of line.  But notr having the indicator show
in the last line of a buffer that doesn't end in a newline is
unfortunate.  Which is why I suggested to test the ends_at_zv_p flag.
What exactly didn't work with it?  Can you show me a test case where
the glyph rows past ZV don't have this flag set?  Maybe you should
test the enabled_p flag as well?

This is a more general issue, and I will respond to your question on
emacs-devel.

Thanks.
