Aha! Could you add comment somewhere in xdisp.c discussing the above
issues about how/when is window-start obeyed and when it's not and
when that causes a second pass and when that's handled on the fly?
It doesn't have to be exhaustive, but at least mentioning the known
cases, and ideally pointing to the corresponding code.

Could be. But I already find it hard to know what can be done with
window-scroll-functions because it's not clear exactly when it's called,
in 2 sense:
- it's not clear exactly when it is called and when it is not.
- it's not clear exactly at which stage of redisplay it is called
(e.g. what has already been processed, what hasn't; will any and all
modifications caused by window-scroll-functions be reflected on screen
at the end of the current redisplay, or will some of it only be
handled by the next redisplay? If so, which do and which don't?)
