Thanks a lot for your suggestions, I think they are generally very
useful. In this case maybe the problem is related to some internal Emacs
procedures that I'm simply not aware of (like the order of content
display and code execution) and that don't show up at the surface of my
application code. 

Maybe a call to some kind of 'flush-buffer-content' function (I could
not find one with 'C-h f') at the right moment would solve the problem?
