A reproducible recipe will be appreciated (in a separate bug report,
please).  I'm guessing that some redisplay optimization causes the
slightly inaccurate display, which is thereafter fixed.  If so, it
could be that the conditions for that optimization should be fixed.

When calling Lisp from redisplay, always use safe_call, to be
protected against errors signaled by that Lisp.

For the same reason, reset the flag _before_ calling Lisp, not after,
so that if Lisp does signal an error, the flag will be reset, and
won't cause the hook to be called ad nauseam.
