bug#54862: 28.1; window-text-pixel-size sometimes fails to report accurate pixel-width

[Markus Triska]

To reproduce this regression, please invoke Emacs with:

    $ emacs -Q

and then evaluate the following form:

    (let ((width 20))
      (= width (let* ((height (line-pixel-height))
                      (data (with-temp-buffer
                              (insert (format "P1\n%s %s\n" width height))
                              (dotimes (_ height)
                                (insert (make-string width ?1) "\n"))
                              (buffer-string))))
                 (insert " ")
                 (let ((from (point)))
                   (insert-image `(image :type pbm :data ,data :ascent center) 
"t")
                   (car (window-text-pixel-size nil from (point)))))))

The expected result, obtained for example in Emacs 26.1 and 27.1, is: t.

Whereas with Emacs 28.1, evaluating the form unexpectedly yields: nil.

If possible, could you please restore the previous behaviour?

Thank you and all the best,
Markus
