To my understanding, a word was delineated by whitespace or such as - 
characters. Hence navigation on earlier versions of MCL was

one-word-at-a-time
    ^    ^  ^ ^    ^	using meta-F (alt-F)

Now that - is not seen as a word delineator meta-F will leap to the end.

Perhaps the convention changed somewhere along the way.
My fingers are used to:
c-F = forward one character
m-F =         one word
c-m-F =       one sexp
equivalent for backwards etc.

As no one else has commented, it's probably my brain reverting to 
some earlier incarnation.
I'll have a dig in the sources ...
(just having access to the sources is such a joy and reassurance)
