Based on other NEWS entries, and the discussion earlier in this thread
of Stefan's original phrasing, I assumed that it was customary to
mention in NEWS that a change fixes a defect (which I believe this one
is, for the reasons I outlined in my last message). If that's not
expected, then it doesn't much matter.

I do think the prior behavior differs somewhat from the way you phrased
it. I would write it as:

    Originally, when 'inhibit-field-text-motion' was nil, 'count-words'
    stopped counting words at the end of the field containing START.

(It didn't ignore text inside fields, but rather text that was not
inside one specific field.)
