The number of lines left to move which is returned by forward-line
considers the last line as processed if it is not empty. For example,
(forward-line 1) evaluates to 0 if point is on the last line but
strictly before the end of the buffer.

I think you are describing the documented behaviour?
C-h f forward-line
With positive N, a non-empty line at the end counts as one line
successfully moved (for the return value).
(ISTR thinking it odd myself.)

That's true, I just discovered the sentence, so either I read the
specification too quickly or the other system on which I was working
today has an older version of Emacs without this precision.
Thanks for your help and sorry about the noise...
