Right. That's why I made sure the stuff before and after each newline 
fits the window.

I'm sure it does. It depends on the test data only: 34 columns in the 
first example, 32 columns in the second.

The scenarios intentionally resize the newly popped window to make sure 
it's the right size.

Hmm, actually no. Sorry about that. So the examples could be simplified 
to just insert the respective test string, without overlays.

But I can open a different window, enable visual-line-mode, take its 
(window-width), insert that numbers of characters on one line and not 
see them wrapped.

Could this be a bug in `enlarge-window-horizontally' and/or `window-width'?

Have you installed Fira Mono and set it up, like the first code line in 
the example does? This doesn't happen with the default Ubuntu font in 
the Emacs master, although in emacs-24 it did when I tried.
