Fixed in git, 1e3cffb.

(Meanwhile the trailing character has changed to ">", because it's clearer, and it mimics Pico.)

To reproduce, run 'stty cols 28 && LANGUAGE=en src/nano --ignore IMPROVEMENTS' and type ^O. See how the answer is shown as "$MENTS", to indicate that there is something before the MENTS. Then press <Home>. See how now the answer is shown as "IMPROVE", without any $.

Expected behavior: there should be a trailing $ in the latter case, to indicate that there is something after IMPROVE.
