font-lock is "per buffer" whereas point is "per window", so I'm not sure
what "*the* original point" should mean.

You can try `jit-lock-debug-mode` (which delays the jit-lock from
"within redisplay" to "the next idle time").  Otherwise, you can set
`font-lock-support-mode` to nil, then turn font-lock-mode off and back
on (after which font-lock is triggered via `after-change-functions`).
