There was a source fix to Emacs just recently that fixed this.

I include the original message below.

Subject: Emacs bug tickled by VM, with fix
Date: 25 Mar 91 01:42:06 GMT

If you vm-reply-include-text to a message near the end of a folder,
and then use C-x b to switch back to the mail buffer, Emacs often
displays the wrong section of the buffer.  This is caused by a bug in
save-restriction - when clipping point to lie within the reinstated
restriction, it assumes it's operating on the current buffer.

Blech.

This bug exists in the 18.57 distribution, but has been fixed in the
FSF's working sources, so it will be distributed the next time around.

	* editfns.c (in_accessible_range): Deleted - insufficently
	general.
	(clip_to_bounds): New function, much like in_accessible_range,
	except that the upper and lower bounds are arguments.
	(goto_char, save_restriction_restore): Rewritten to use
	clip_to_bounds instead of in_accessible_range.
