Another possibly-related bug.
If I do visual-mode by hitting 'V', vimpulse models gvim and keeps the cursor on the current line. However, this is very different from emacs. As I said in the previous bug report, emacs puts the cursor on the *next* line. Vimpulse should do as emacs does. Otherwise, you get unexpected behavior.
For example, in org-mode, if you select a line with a list item using 'V' and then do 'C-c *' to convert into a headline, a mysterious blank line appears, which doesn't happen in emacs mode when I triple-mouse-click that line.
The difference seems to lie in where the cursor is placed after highlighting an entire line.
So even though it's nice that 'V' currently looks like gvim, the semantics should not change from emacs, even if that means we lose the ability to look like gvim.
