The function "pulse-momentarily-highlight-one-line" (in pulse.el)
ignores the point argument and uses the current point instead.

To reproduce this issue, call the function with a location on
a line other than where the point currently is. The line with
point will be pulsed, not the line containing the supplied
location.

(pulse-momentary-highlight-one-line 259)


The following patch fixes the issue with (goto-char point)
