The defun for `goto-line' in emacs/lisp/simple.el specifically calls
(widen)
on the buffer before moving to the specified line number. I don't
know whether this is intended.
That line wasn't written by accident!
The most common use of goto-line is to go to a line number
that you got from some other program. That program normally
operates on the whole file. For goto-line to use a narrowed
line number would hardly ever be useful.
If it is intended, the documentation should be modified in
(emacs)Optional Mode Line
I don't see anything about goto-line in that node.
The text looks correct to me.
