OK.  Pushed to master.  In any case it fixes a scenario like the following:

(let (window state point start)
  (find-file "../lisp/window.el")
  (forward-line 30)
  (setq window (selected-window))
  (setq state (window-state-get window))
  (setq start (window-start window))
  (setq point (window-point window))
  (message "Before split - %s  ... start: %s ... point: %s" window start point) (sit-for 3)
  (split-window window)
  (message "After split - %s  ... start: %s ... point: %s" window start point) (sit-for 3)
  (window-state-put state window)
  (sit-for 0)
  (message
   "Final - %s ... start: %s -> %s ... point: %s -> %s"
   window start (window-start window) point (window-point window)))

Not at all.

And you mean that the situation after your fix is as expected and the
single, final call of ‘window-configuration-change-hook’ I proposed
earlier would spoil that?  Technically spoken, it would fail because
‘window-state-put’ creates windows anew and for a new window image-mode
has no record of the previous position of the image in that window?  Do
you agree with that interpretation?
