Not sure how to document this limitation because it still works
to some extent: when lines are not truncated, and point can be
moved to the end of a 1 GB buffer, then after toggling line truncation
while point is at the end of the buffer, cursor motion is shown
correctly with auto-hscrolling near the end of the buffer.

I don't know how it works but the docstring of pos-visible-in-window-p
says:
If POS is only out of view because of horizontal scrolling, return non-nil.
