Unfortunately, I don't have a good plan here. I delayed implementing any
automated testing at all of the emacs interface precisely because of
this problem. It's seems to me that surely emacs must have some built-in
mechanism for copying the visible portion of a block of text, but I've
not been able to find it.
We could do something cheesy (and slow) by marching through the buffer
character-by-character in elisp and testing for visibility, but the
emacs tests are already the slowest part of "make test"[*] so that would
be obnoxious.

Breaking isearch would be really unfortunate. That's a really nice
feature of the emacs frontend currently.
So I would notice that breakage, (while I've apparently never before
noticed the breakage of having visible citations in a hidden message).
So no, I'm not saying I'm ready to push the series while emacs is broken.

[*] Maybe the performance of the emacs testing could be significantly
improved by sharing a single invocation of emacs? Perhaps this wouldn't
even be hard by just using emacsclient?
