Okay.

How come Emacs 24 lets me put point in that partially fully visible
line? Was something simplified between 24 and master?
To me, that kind of subtlety is important. Not that important to cry
regression, but important enough to wonder if I could afford the
slowdown. I’m even mildly bothered by the fact that spacing is
conceptually below its line; I’d find it nicer if half of it was
above.

Maybe. Maybe not. On the one hand, I do have a non-nil
header-line-format at all times. (For tabbar-mode.) On the other hand,
when I evaluate (posn-at-point) with point in the topmost window line,
I get zero Y and ROW values. It is not immediately clear if I can rely
on that.
On the third hand, using motion relative to the point is immediately
clear. What’s the downside? Is it going to be slow? Slow enough to be
noticeable at a key repeat rate of 40 Hz?
