Subject: 24.3.91; Cursor drawn at EOL while it's at BOL
Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2014 01:18:20 -0400

   emacs -Q

   (progn (goto-char (point-min)) (forward-line 1)
     (let ((ol (make-overlay (point) (point)))
           (str "TOTO"))
       (put-text-property 0 1 'cursor 1 str)
       (overlay-put ol 'after-string str)))

Then do:

   M-<
   C-n

Notice that the cursor is drawn at EOL whereas it should be drawn at BOL.

   C-f C-f

this confirms that point really is where we want it to be, it's only the
cursor drawing code which is playing tricks.

This bug is visible in rectangle-mark-mode when the cursor is at BOL
right in front of a TAB and the other side of the rectangle ends in the
middle of that TAB.

The patch below fixes this.  However, since this problem exists in
Emacs 24.3 as well, and so is not really a regression, I need your
permission to install on the release branch.
