A last note: w->start has already been set to its default value (BEGV) 
just after entering resize_mini_window(), so the else part in your patch 
is not necessary anymore.  Your code has the same effect as simply doing:

if (height > max_height) height = (max_height / unit) * unit;

in place of the "Compute a suitable window start" part.
