Sorry, I don't understand why supporting goal-column must have this
side effect. In a normal buffer, we do support goal-column (in the
visual-line sense), and still we don't jump to the firs screen line of
a long logical line. Why should the minibuffer behave differently?
I guess the description in bug#19824 lacks some crucial details,
because I simply don't see why preserving the column should force to
jump to the first screen line of the previous history item. Can you
explain? Are you interpreting the goal-column in physical, rather
than visual, sense?
