I also find the point movement erratic sometimes in the agenda.  IIUC
the line number gets stored for the agenda and after agenda-redo point
is set to that line number again.

I also thought a bit about a better behavior.  One could implement a
heuristic which trys to place point at a line which looks "very much"
like the line which contained point before the redo.  But I'm not sure
how crazy that is.

This is a wanted feature AFAICT.  I think the following patch is a
reliable way to achieve the preservation of text-scale for agenda-redo.
