I don't think it's quite that simple. The correct choice depends on where will Emacs pop the window in which it displays the formatted man page. Since window popping follows some quite comlpex logic, it could be wrong to use window-width in the case you cite. I think we need some machinery to allow us to know in advance where the window will pop. Perhaps we should create the window before running the `man' command, or maybe decide in advance where to pop the window and force Emacs to pop it exactly where we tell it.
