Thanks! I should have tried that as well when making my test case
smaller.

For what I was actually trying to do I needed that window, and I also
tried (redisplay t) and other stuff in between to make it display before
my code continued, to no avail. Visiting the file explicitly with
find-file instead works for me. I just thought I found something strange
on the way, but evidently not, so this can be closed.
