I cannot follow your argumentation. The docs say:
"The result is a Number, which is the screen column of the file position given
with {expr}. That is, the last screen position occupied by the character at
that position, *when the screen would be of unlimited width*."
The last sentence clearly states that "side-effects" like showbreak, or wrap
must not have any influence on the returned value of virtcol().
They way it is implemented now is inconsistent with the description - let alone
with the results...
