We may have documented the behavior, but that doesn't make it right ;-)
If someone were to submit a patch to change MOVE 0 into a no-op
(without breaking MOVE ALL of course), I'd vote to apply it.

If we do that, how does one move to the end of a cursor?

MOVE ALL.

The problem right now is just that MOVE ALL is internally represented
as MOVE 0 ... there needs to be a different representation for it.
