emacs -Q -eval '(setq line-move-visual nil truncate-lines t track-eol t)'

C-u 100 x RET
y <up>

At this point, in try_cursor_movement, point is in the "x" line, the
window has not yet hscrolled, and the value of hpos is just after the
last valid element in glyphs[TEXT_AREA].

(It only actually crashes some of the time, of course.)
