Yes.  What I wrote was perhaps unclear, I meant that the image is
displayed on entering pdf-view-maybe-redisplay-resized-windows but
before any of its code is run.  Just before the image appeared, the
execution was in pdf-view-redisplay, the last line of which is
(force-mode-line-update).  Then the image appears and execution enters
pdf-view-maybe-redisplay-resized-windows.

How long do you wait?  On my machine, which is slow, it seems to take at
least 30-45 seconds or even longer, depending on the size of the file,
but eventually the image does appear without keyboard input.
