Not sure I understood everything there, but what I noticed was that 
point-before-scroll needs to have a window local value. Is that the main 
issue?

Perhaps that can be emulated with a window local overlay at the moment? 
(It is ugly of course, but just to test the concept with the fringe 
indicator.)
