Uh, no guarantees...  It turns out that when I place something like a
shell window partially obscuring an Emacs frame with, say, a shell
buffer running some compilation, then I get lots of display cruft in
the Emacs frame.  The cruft occurs in
a) the top line partially obscured by the obscuring window
b) below the bottom line partially obscured

It would appear that scrolling does copy the material in the partially
obscured cases, but fails to clear the partial lines before
resp. after moving the displayed material at top resp. bottom.
