That's a nice property indeed.  Thanks for your patience with me!  :-)

It usually does not do the proper thing alone, but `C-l C-l C-l' is
closer to what I want.

This was a good hint, thanks.  Starting from your idea, I ended up with:

(defun fp-org-cycle-recenter (type)
  "Recenter after global collapsing."
  (when (eq type 'overview)
    (recenter (1- (window-body-height)))))

(add-hook 'org-cycle-hook 'fp-org-cycle-recenter)

When returning to a more expanded view, the original line is recovered
at the center of the window instead of at its precise previous position,
which is quite acceptable to me.  From there, another full cycle of
course leaves the impression that the position did not move.
