It works in relation to fill, yes.
But in general, the behaviour of current-column is "questionable" when
the buffer contains invisible newlines. Consider the following code:
(let ((b (get-buffer-create "current-column test")))
(set-buffer b)
(erase-buffer)
(insert "abc\ndef\nghi")
(add-text-properties 4 5 '(invisible t))
(add-text-properties 8 9 '(invisible t))
;; buffer now displays as one line: abcdefghi
;; position on the `h'
(goto-char 10)
(current-column))
It creates a buffer with the following data line (where # indicates an
invisible newline):
abc#
def#
ghi
I.e. the visible result is:
abcdefghi
Here, current-column claims that `h' is in column 1.
This is because current_column_1 uses scan_newline to find the
line start, but scan_newline doesn't skip over invisible newlines...

Thanks. I learn something new every day.
