Thanks heaps!  I think the right solution is to retrain my muscle memory
to use C-M-f instead of M-f in this situation.  I saw
INHIBIT-FIELD-TEXT-MOTION mentioned in the doc for FORWARD-WORD but the
symbol didn't exist and I didn't realise that I was supposed to intern
it myself.  Anyway, two solutions are better than none.

Cheers,
Hamish.
