Right now I have a conjecture about what might be causing the infinite 
loop -- when line number are produced, we can no longer use it->hpos == 
0 to test if the glyph is the first glyph. Perhaps this is best 
explained by the following diff:

Some other evidence includes the following gdb session:

(TLDR: in `move_it_in_display_line_to`, maybe_produce_line_number 
increases it->hpos from 0 to 4. Thus afterwards the test for the glyph 
being the first one fails)
