    I presume you mean the _output_ fields (if none of the fields had any
    effect, there wouldn't be much point to them!)....

I see now that the input fields to not have this property.
But I think they should.  Users are already complaining that C-a
does not move to the real beginning of the line.  As for C-e,
it will move to the same place in either case, since the input
field ends at the end of a line.  I think the input fields
should have the `inhibit-line-move-field-capture' property.

The reason fields are used is so that comint can figure out
what is a prompt, not to affect cursor motion.
