The result can legitimately depend on what is inside progn, because
what's there could affect point, and that in turn affects which line
recenter puts on the first window line, or even if it can do that.

So in this general form, the expectation is not correct.  Perhaps if
you made it less general and more specific to what the code inside
progn actually does, we could discuss this in a more useful manner.
