Duh, I overlooked this "detail", sorry.
But then in what way does it help?  You may now move the cursor to just
after the ellipsis but actually be placed right after the newline (rather
than at the end of the text).  And if you remove the newline, you get into
the undesired situation where there is no ellipsis any more to warn about
the presence of invisible text.

Of course I'm biased: it would break reveal-mode which I wrote and use
extensively with outline-minor-mode ;-)
