The text that needs to be reflowed doesn't include newlines, except at
ends of paragraphs, right?  So those are very long lines that
visual-line-mode will divide into screen line by wrapping.

By contrast, in <pre> blocks each line ends in a newline, and the lines
are supposed to be short enough to fit in a normal-size window.  So
now wrapping should be needed.

Or what did I miss?
