The text says:
When t, `C-a' will bring back the cursor to the beginning of the
headline text, i.e. after the stars and after a possible TODO
keyword. In an item, this will be the position after the bullet.
It all depends if we read the letter or the spirit of the second
sentence. "[ ]" is a kind of TODO, and "[X]" is a kind of DONE, as
demonstrated by the commands `C-x -' and `C-x *'. That's why I quite
naturally expect the cursor to be positioned after the check box.
This is of course all debatable. I think the spirit and usefulness of
org-special-ctrl-a/e would be better guaranteed, if the behavior was
amended.
