I see 2 calls to extend_face_to_end_of_line that have an explicit
setting of the ends_at_zv_p flag to 'true' right before the call.  The
fact that you don't see that just means that you are not trying the
use cases where those code fragments are executed.  Which doesn't
surprise me, since the Emacs display engine supports dozens of rare
and subtle use cases, some of which are not easy to even reproduce.

Not sure about which place you are talking: there are several places
in xdisp.c where we call get_next_display_element and test that its
value is zero.

In any case, if we are going to call extend_face_to_end_of_line in
some of the places where we currently don't do that at EOB, we should
condition of the display-fill-column-indicator-mode being ON as well.
