That's by design. python-mode tries to emulate lisp movement as much as
possible, so it considers point to be at the end of a "defun" and tries to skip
over the entire "defun", back to the beginning.

This functionality appears to be buggy:

def foo():
    bar = "bar"
    baz = "baz"
    x=x()_|_

=>

def foo():
    bar = "bar"
    baz = "baz"
    x=x_|_()

I also find the behavior more counter-intuitive than useful, and I wish
python-mode acted more like cc-mode here.
