Somehow I'm not surprised.  It's been an extremely fickle bug.  I suppose it must be Mac specific or more people would have noticed by now.

The progn should set it to emacs-lisp-mode which is where I see the problem.  Text mode doesn't exhibit the problem, nor does fundamental mode.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean.  Is this it? 

(cons (window-width) (window-height))
(89 . 46)

I have included the output from (frame-parameters (selected-frame)) in case that helps as well.  I just noticed that the frame height and window height don't match.  Is that normal?  

If there is anything else I can do to debug it I would be happy, it's just that I have no clue where to begin.  It's not (entirely) due to the actual movement command since running `forward-paragraph' also demonstrates the problem, though curiously `end-of-buffer' works fine. But end-of-buffer sends point to a different line than either of `forward-paragraph' and `forward-sexp'.
