I think you misunderstood.
I know that the logic how Emacs chooses which boundary to move to is not
documented.

However, my problem is not with this logic. My problem is that info page
says that point adjustment happens when point is _inside_ invisible
region. However, in my situation the point is already at the boundary
(that is: _not inside_).

Please remember that info page was just one of the points I listed in
the initial report.
