That's exactly what I expected.

Yes, that's what I meant by "the relevant portion of the buffer [has]
to be displayed in some window".  If point is not visible,
posn-at-point will return nil.

It is easy to make the code fail gracefully in those cases, but that
would mean the problems this is trying to solve will be solved only in
some part of the buffer.  Which I think is worse than leaving them as
they are now.

So how about trying to take one more column from the width available
for filling?  Does that produce reasonable results?
