I'm too silly to understand what this is supposed to do.  But the
doc-string of `comint-adjust-point' says "Move point in the selected
window based on Comint settings." which, together with the fact that you
call this in a loop over all windows showing some buffer, indicates to
use `set-window-point' rather than `goto-char'.  So why can't you write
something like

(dolist (w (get-buffer-window-list current nil t))
  (when (and (< (window-point) (process-mark process))
	     ...)
    (set-window-point w ...)))

here?
