It seems like it's an error to put the "put the document's buffer back
in its normal editing mode" if the user agreed to "view the
document as plain text". IOW the core of the problem might be that we
shouldn't call `doc-view-toggle-display' in that case?
I don't understand why running the process synchronously helps, and it
sounds like a workaround rather than a fix.
