`C-l' does not necessarily do a redisplay, at least not by default.
It did so in the past, but ceased to since Emacs 23.1, where `C-l' was
bound to 'recenter-top-bottom' instead of 'recenter'.

Emacswiki seems to be off-line. But unless you are saying that
turning on this feature _always_ results in garbled display, I will
need a recipe to reproduce the problem, or else it is impossible to
debug it.

You read too much into what `C-l' does. I recommend redraw-display,
if you want to force a thorough redisplay.
Anyway, all those situations should be reported, if they are
reproducible. You shouldn't need to force redisplay manually.
