I think a clearer test case is:

(message "%s" (point))
(what-line)
(move-end-of-line 1)
(message "%s" (point))
(what-line)

which gives the same result for me in 22.1 through to the current trunk;

1
Line 1
45
Line 2

and the "right" result if inhibit-point-motion-hooks is non-nil:

1
Line 1
23
Line 1
