In GNU Emacs 19.25.1 of Mon Aug  1 1994 on sun25 (sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3)

Evaluate these 4 lines (maybe in a new Emacs if you don't want to mess
up your keymaps in your current one):

========================================================================
(local-set-key "\C-p" 'up)
(defalias 'up 'previous-line)

(local-set-key "\C-n" 'down)
(defalias 'down 'next-line)
========================================================================

Try this:
(*) Place the cursor at the end of this line and type "C-p C-n" or
"C-n C-p"

The cursor will move to the space between "Place" and "the" at the
beginning of the line marked (*) above.  I tried using fset instead of
defalias and the same happens.

Chris.
