This would also explain why screen-lines.el (not part of Emacs)
stopped working correctly at about that point in time.

There are other packages that rely on the old behavior, and the

Move point to start of the screen line LINES lines down.
To me, that implies that a value of zero for LINES should move point
to the start of the current line.
