That happens when I scroll a buffer with an image.  When point in an
image and left edger of the image is out of screen by window-hscroll,
I cannot get (posn-at-point).

Here is an example of a situation.

  M-x about-emacs
  M-<, C-e, C-b
  (posn-at-point) => (#<window 55 on *About GNU Emacs*> 2 (152 . 0) 0 nil 2 (1 
. 0) (image :type png :file "splash.png") (0 . 0) (333 . 233))
  (set-window-hscroll nil 28)
  (posn-at-point) => nil

This case, I want to estimate height of a line as height of the image
thus frame-char-height does not work.

Please give me suggestion to get y location of a cursor on the
situation!
