The bug is about kill-visual-line command behaving unexpectedly when executed at the end of a logical line. I think everybody would expect it to delete only the newline, like kill-line does, but kill-visual-line deletes not only the newline character but also the next line up to the cursor position. See the bug report for a concrete example. I use visual-line-mode with all text modes. Hence I also use kill-visual-line (C-k) a lot. I think people with similar habits will notice this bug in no time.
