This ended up with the cursor on "a". Again, this is what I'd expect --
because the cursor got onto the "." via a vertical move, not a "$".
No, this is wrong. Try it without the ":set cuc" and you'll see that the cursor moves back to the end of the
word "line" where it started. With the ":set cuc" the cursor moves to the "a" above the
end of the second line. Vim seems to be forgetting where it's desired cursor column is.
However, the OP did say to do the ":set cuc", unless that's not what he
meant to say.
Here's a short command file doing what the OP specified:
--------cmdfile.vim--------
norm! $j
set cuc
norm! k
set nocuc
norm! $hj
set cuc
norm !k
--------------------------------
vim -u NONE -N textfile -S cmdfile.vim
yields the cursor ending up on the "a". FWIW, commenting out the "set
cuc" still ends up with the cursor on the "a" (vim 7.3.861).
I suspect that what is showing up is the difference between using "$" to
move to the end of line and simply moving to the end of line with hjkl
(etc). The cursor moves to the same location, but there's a
difference. You can see it with (assuming the OP's example file):
vim -u NONE -N textfile
---
norm! G$k
---
versus
---
norm! G$hlk
---
In the first case, the cursor ends up on the "." at the end-of-line. In
the second case, the cursor ends up on the "a" in the line above.
