I agree.

Another way is to have a parameter to possibly ignore invisibility
specs altogether.
If we rely on stickiness, then the fact that front-sticky is nil by
default suggests that (move-to-column 0) should ignore invisible text
while going back to the beginning of the line, because you don't want
to leave the point in a position where it will inherit from the
previous invisible property. But this interpretation seems fragile.

Yes, agreed too.
