This is macOS specific, I think, due to differences in how redisplay
works on darwin.  I don't see this on GNU/Linux and on MS-Windows.  So
it looks like the implementation does what it's supposed to do, and
unless someone has ideas how to improve the result on macOS, I think
we should close this bug as wontfix.
