I noticed this deficiency, but failed to properly fix it earlier,
because it's only you who completely understands all the intricacies
of window-displaying machinery ;-)

However, after I looked at this again now, it looks natural to just
replace ‘shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer’ with ‘fit-window-to-buffer’.
But I'd leave it to you to decide how good this change is and what
consequences it might entail.
