Yes.  This is an interesting bug.

The unfontified area seems to be one jit-lock chunk immediately below
the line containing "create-frame".

reposition-window, as far as I've been able to make out so far, seems to
assume that point starts in the current visible window.  That is not the
case here, where window-start is still at BOB, but point is at line 116.

I'll look at this in more detail when it's not so late.
