I also found force-window-update, which does the job (as do
redraw-display and redraw-frame, but they clear the frame which causes
flickering).

    *** New function `force-window-update' can initiate a full redisplay
    of one or all windows. Normally, this is not needed as changes in
    window contents are detected automatically. However, certain
    implicit changes to mode lines, header lines, or display properties
    may require forcing an explicit window update.

The manual is not explicit about the difference between
(info "(elisp) Refresh Screen") and
(info "(elisp) Forcing Redisplay")

It's not clear why (redisplay t) shouldn't work

    If the optional argument FORCE is non-`nil', it forces an immediate
    and complete redisplay even if input is available.
