Sorry, you are correct; I was confusing the rules for terrain (the
cost is determined solely by the destination) for the rules involving
the lower cost of moving down roads and rivers (*both* the source and
destination squares must have the feature).

So, I had better try answering your earlier scenario again:

  Moving from 1 -> 2 reduces his MP from 2 to 1 2/3.
  Moving from 2 -> 3 reduces his MP from 1 2/3 to 2/3.
  Moving from 3 -> 4 schedules a Goto.
  -- End Turn --
  The Goto moves him 3 -> 4, reducing his MP 2 2/3 to 1 2/3.
  He can now move across five more road tiles, making it to 9.

So, yes, he will make it to nine, because he will not be forced to
throw away the 2/3rd movement points.
