Completely wrong, Gaute. Or at best completely ambiguous.

And you picked a bad example (try one that is at the left wrapwall
instead) to actually show what the real difference is.

Until you can clearly pinpoint what a real tile is, you will continue
to fall into the same pit that Freeciv void_tile and other hacks 
left in the code when they tried to "fix" problems by breaking things
with for example the map_adjust_y() bug.
