For this one, I meant that if the first row is made taller for some
good reason, then this shouldn't yields recentering when scrolling
upward with the mouse wheel, and (move-to-window-line -1) should put
the cursor on the last fully visible display line of the window, as
documented.

Solving (2) would no longer trigger this code in my case, but you
should make sure that this code, which is still useful in some other
cases, behaves correctly with various Emacs features.
