That's likely me.  Under certain conditions I do `recenter' with a
negative argument in `post-command-hook' which basically looks like

             (recenter (max 0 (- (window-height) 7)))

which triggers w->force_start being set here in xdisp.c:

      if (IT_CHARPOS (it) == PT)
        w->force_start = 1;

So my case _is_ very likely special.  Still "bringing point back into
view" shouldn't make point appear on a partially visible line.  Or am I
missing something?
