Hmm.

ls -la | wc -l
      404
ls -la | bbedit +9999

puts the cursor on the last line of the file, a blank line in this 
example.

Let's try a file which ends in a full line, but without <LF> at the end:

bbedit +9999999 x.py # puts the cursor at the end of the last line.

FWIW, I've been using TextWrangler in a similar way for newsgroup posts,
called by slrn.  What I find there is that I want the cursor positioned
at the beginning of the post body, so that I can start at the beginning
and strip out unwanted quoted text, just leaving the relevant quoted 
text
plus my reply (possibly interleaved where answering more than one 
point).

Yes TW does select the entire line, but that's not a problem when I'm
using the cursor keys to move down through the text before typing any
text.
