I can confirm the issue.  The problem is that (doc-view-current-page)
and returns nil, although that's setf-ed in `doc-view-initiate-display'.
But I think at this time, the window going to hold the images isn't
there already.

As a workaround, do `M-g M-g 1 RET'.  I'll look into this issue later
today.
