Once again, please show some simple Lisp to reproduce the phenomena
you are observing.  It is hard to discuss these highly technical
issues on this abstract level.

On the very basic level of the display code, when a display iterator
is initialized, the window for whose display the iterator is used must
be given to init_iterator as its argument, and the buffer of that
window must be temporarily made to be the current buffer.  So this
cannot be the problem in this case.  If init_iterator would be passed
an incorrect window, we'd have much more grave display problems than
this minor issue.
