Because it needs to determine the new window-start which is a
window-full above or below the current one, without assuming that all
the lines have the same height in pixels.  How do you do that in Lisp?
(The current implementation simulates display.)

Sounds like a bug that should be reported.  Not sure if it's in core
Emacs or not, but please do report it with all the necessary details
to whatever the guilty parties are.

Thanks.
