Thanks for reporting. Here's a draft PR for a possible fix: #4554.

In the meantime, ctrl-a and ctrl-e work as alternatives to home/end. I prefer these anyway because they also work for going to the beginning/end of a line in multi-line text fields, e.g. the commit message description.

Ok, scratch that, I just realized that home/end work the same way there: they also go to the beginning/end of the line. You could consider this a bug though, I would expect them to go to the beginning/end of the whole text.
