No.  Try this in your .emacs.el :

(setq line-move-visual nil)

PS: this variable is on by default in Emacs 23, which annoys many users.

Some time ago, I learned about a *feature* to allow C to go forward to the
end of the line BEFORE the tags, and similarly to enable that C-a in a
headline would only proceed to the beginning of the headline text, and not
to the absolute line beginning.

For a while, I have been suffering what appears to be a corollary of this:
C-e on any long line (possibly longer than a fill-column distance) skips by
increment of approximately a fill-column length, and C-e must be repeated
several times on a long line to get to the end.

This is somewhat annoying when using org-remember via org-protocol or
org-annotation-helper, that only yank text paragraphs as a long line.  I see
no rhyme or reason to the pattern of the skips.

Is this a bug in my setup?

My customized parameter for Org Special Ctrl A/E was "set C-a and C-e
separately" in the customize buffer.  When this variable is reset to "after
stars/bullet and before tags first", the same thing seems to happen.

So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing---that's what counts.
