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.
