Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Concerning outline.el, if outline-regexp matches the entire heading
line and the heading line is visible but the heading entry itself
is hidden, outline-next-visible-heading (and thus also at least
outline-forward-same-level) skips the heading line as invisible
even though it should not.

This happens because outline-next-visible-heading moves to the next
heading line with

(re-search-forward (concat "^\\(" outline-regexp "\\)")
                   nil 'move)

, which in the described conditions leaves the point right before
the newline at the end of the heading line, and then tests whether
the heading line is not visible (i.e. one that should be skipped)
with

(not (outline-visible))

which again does the test by checking whether the character after
point is invisible.  It is invisible, if the heading entry is
hidden, even though the heading line itself is visible, which is
what outline-visible should be testing.
