It's a consequence of the bidirectional display, under which we can no
longer assume that, if point is at position P, and that position is
not visible, the cursor should be put on the first visible glyph whose
position is >= P.  (In this case, the first 2 characters are obscured
by the overlay arrow, and don't appear on the line.)

I will look into fixing this soon.  Thanks for reporting this.
