I'm closing the bug report.  My opinion is that company-mode should
either change the way it computes the line to move to, or account for
the header-line itself (e.g., by looking at the value of
header-line-format).  If the author of that package disagrees, I
suggest that he or she starts a discussion on emacs-devel.

Thanks.
