Yes, it's my bad, sorry.  Cursor positioning is a tricksy business,
with lots of different use-cases.  I guess I failed to test the TTY
display properly after this change.

No, this isn't the problem, I'm quite sure.

The problem is that I installed a fix for displaying glyphless
characters using the zero-width method (see the change in
set_cursor_from_row in the changeset), and that fix inadvertently
introduced this bug.

I will try to fix this as soon as possible.
