Resize your screen to 50 characters wide, and do a toggle-truncate-lines.
Emacs23-gtk will show arrows on the right (and left) for the part of the
lines that is not visible.

Move the cursor to the end of the first line. Then move down, up and
down. And again up, down, up, down. You'll see that the cursor does not
go the same position in the second each time.

Second experiment.
Move cursor further down to the line after these three long lines, and
then move up again. And repeat that a few times, and you'll see that the
cursor is not coming back to the same position each time.

This bug affects only when line-move-visual=t. But yes, I can reproduce
it with 23.0.96. This is related bug:

    "next-line and previous-line don't keep the column in text-scale-mode"
    http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=3668

I can see now that line-move-visual=t is the cause there too.
