By advise of Eli, using `move-to-column' that insert spaces if
necessary:

(defun goto-x-y-unconditionally (x y)
  "Goto to line X, char Y unconditionally."
  (let ((lines (count-lines (point-min) (point-max))))
    (when (< lines x)
      (goto-char (point-max))
      (insert "\n" (make-string (- x lines) ?\n)))
    (goto-line x)
    (goto-char (point-at-bol))
    (move-to-column y t)))
