Could this be an interaction with another mode? I don't see what you describe at all. Do you see this when starting with `emacs -Q'? For me, that has `visual-line-mode' turned off, and `n' acts normally in Dired. If you see that problem with `emacs -Q', then consider reporting a bug: `M-x report-emacs-bug'. If not, try bisecting your init file (~/.emacs) recursively until you find the part that introduces the problem.
