Ah, I do have an example. Use the default colorized prompt from
/etc/skel/.bashrc, and cd into a directory with a very long pathname
that causes the prompt to linewrap:
PS1='\[\033[01;[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
ln -s . /tmp/long-path
cd
/tmp/long-path/long-path/long-path/long-path/long-path/long-path/long-path/long-path
Then, if you type a very long command that results another linewrap, and
hit Ctrl+A, the cursor will be moved to the sixth character of the
command instead of the first, and future editing operations will affect
the wrong characters.

Reproduced on both Hardy’s bash 3.2-0ubuntu18 and Intrepid’s bash
