This is a regression from emacs 23, already present in 24.1:
$ cat bug.el
(set (make-local-variable 'overlay-arrow-string) "=>")
(set (make-local-variable 'overlay-arrow-position) (point-marker))
;;(setq truncate-lines t)
(insert-char ?- (window-width))
(goto-char (point-min))
$ emacs -nw -l ./bug.el
The cursor is placed at the right margin. Either moving forward two
characters or deleting one character (so that the line fits in the
window) puts the cursor after the arrow, where it belongs.
Andreas.

It's a consequence of the bidirectional display, under which we can no
longer assume that, if point is at position P, and that position is
not visible, the cursor should be put on the first visible glyph whose
position is >= P. (In this case, the first 2 characters are obscured
by the overlay arrow, and don't appear on the line.)
I will look into fixing this soon. Thanks for reporting this.

Should be fixed in revision 111082 on the emacs-24 branch. (The fix
is a simple one-liner, and is so obviously correct that it can only
cause problems if it exposes another bug, so I think it's appropriate
for the branch.)
