Because when the cursor is near the right border of the window (~ 5
characters), emacs scrolls horizontally automatically (depending on
auto-hscroll-mode). Since the end of the visual line is at the right
border of the window, emacs should put cursor there and scroll
accordingly. It does it correctly when line-prefix is nil. In the recipe
I gave, C-e fails to place point at the right border of the window.

My use case is an org mode file like
* title
** title2
*** title3
| some | very | wide | org | mode | table | some | very | wide | org | mode | table | some | very | wide | org | mode | table | some | very | wide | org | mode | table | some | very | wide | org | mode | table | some | very | wide | org | mode | table |
when org-indent-mode is activated (which adds line-prefix) and
visual-line-mode activated. If the table is very wide, it'll be wrapped
and look bad. So I toggle-truncate-lines temporarily to avoid the
wrapping, and can navigate through the table by (horizontal)
screenfuls... except for the bug.
The workaround in my use case is to temporarily turn off
visual-line-mode instead of temporarily activating truncate-lines ; but
nevertheless I think there's a bug in vertical-motion : (vertical-motion
(cons (window-width) 0)) fails to set the point at the correct position
when asked to.
