Sorry for jumping in here ignorantly.  I just looked
at the doc string for `set-window-start' and got a
very different impression of what that 3rd arg means.
Am I mistaken?  How to reconcile your description
with what the doc string says?

  Optional third arg NOFORCE non-nil inhibits next
  redisplay from overriding motion of point in order
  to display at this exact start.
