Subject: bug#64988: 30.0.50; move-to-column can move across lines if there is a text with display property

If there is a text with display property in a buffer, then move-to-column can move across lines.

Repro:
* emacs -Q
* in the scratch buffer, move the cursor to the top, and put an empty line at the beginning of the buffer * execute 'M-: (put-text-property 1 2 'display "line\n")' (note: it's likely that the "\n" causes the problem)
* notice that the empty line becomes "line"
* while the cursor still on the first line, execute 'M-: (move-to-column 20)'

The last command will move the cursor to the next line at column 16, instead of staying at the first line.

Note: I noticed this problem while using this package: https://github.com/jdtsmith/indent-bars.

The problem doesn't happen with emacs 28, this is the commit that introduced the issue:
