Hi Jost,
I think I and many other people here owe you a beer. You have finally
succeeded to make a reproducible case for this bug. This is a bug
somewhere
deep inside Emacs where some routine seems to call `set-window-start'
without the no-force argument behind my back. I have a work-around,
so I
am optimistic that this dreaded bug will have disappeared in the next
release.
Thanks!
- Carsten
