Rather than providing hooks so that the user can be trapped by the  
problem, diagnose it, find the hooks, and come up with the right lisp  
code (most users actually don't speak lisp) to fix it, why not turn  
off line-move-visual (and anything else of the "do what I mean"  
variety) during macro recording and playback?  That would lead to  
consistent and predictable behavior.
