Evaluate the form below and type 'C-v', the current point moves next to
the beginning of line.
Similarly, if the current point is at the window-start and type 'M-v',
the buffer scrolls down and the point moves next to the original position.

(let ((buf (generate-new-buffer "tmp"))
      (line (propertize "A" 'display "B")))
  (switch-to-buffer buf)
  (dotimes (i 100)
    (insert line ?\n))
  (goto-char (point-min)))

I can reproduce this behaviour in Emacs 29, too.

Preserving the column by scrolling commands is tricky in the presence
of display properties.  I fixed the C-v case (at least partially),
because it was a low-hanging fruit.  But the general solution, if it's
at all possible, is too complicated, and I see no reason to jump
through hoops for such obscure use cases.  We try very hard to
preserve the column during C-n/C-p, and that should be enough.

So I'm closing this bug report.
