Yes.

Yes, a user-error.

Then we fix the region to start at the beginning of line before the
beginning (or point), and at the beginning of line before the end (or
point).

The same than when there is no fixed-width area: we convert the region
into fixed-width.  Then converting back to a regular area will be easy
enough, and users are more likely to want this IMHO.

Here you go.  Thanks in advance for your work on this!
