Actually, I do think so: the position where the cursor is displayed when placed on a before-string (or a display string) has always been fairly approximate. E.g. Whether to display it *before* or *after* the display string should depend in most cases on the stickiness of the property (i.e. would insertion of a char at point insert it before or after the display string?), but AFAIK we still don't do that: we just choose one of the two arbitrarily (sometimes just because it's convenient or it seemed right in some circumstance, or because "that's how it worked in earlier releases"). So as a user, I expect the cursor movement to be a bit odd in the presence of display strings. I agree that this situation should be improved, but as long as the position is chosen arbitrarily anyway, I don't see it as a big problem if this arbitrary choice happens to be occasionally in the middle of the display string rather than at one of its ends.
