Just FYI, even using the OpenLayers trunk, where this method is  
available, you might get an error from your WFS server because  
WFS.moveTo() will add a BBOX parameter to the request URL which is  
supposed to be mutually exclusive with the FILTER parameter. At least  
this is my experience when using OpenLayers with GeoServer 1.5.3.

I have not submitted a bug or a patch yet -- I have merely hacked  
around it well enough for my immediate purposes.
