It isn't an off-by-one.  You want the overflow-newline-into-fringe
feature together with word-wrap, but this combination was never
implemented.  I will try to see if it can be easily added, but don't
hold your breath.

If it isn't easy, we will have to mark it "wishlist" and leave it
alone for now.
