Fixed.

That's because move-point-visually uses 2 separate strategies, and the
problem was only in one of them. You need to work very hard for
move-point-visually to fall back on the second strategy, but the
combination of the above 2 mode, each one of which is a redisplay
optimizations killer, succeeded in doing just that.

This is the same problem (M-: also forces move-point-visually to use
the 2nd strategy), so it is also fixed.
Thanks.
