I can agree with this.

I don't understand what this would be for.  With my patch from the last
post, I don't think any window's point would ever be left by follow-mode
in a partially displayed line.  Maybe the function I've written
(follow-make-cursor-line-fully-visible-p) might be useful sometime in
the future.
