They still don't reproduce the problem for me.  And I cannot really
try playing with the various settings that might affect this because
the recipe runs in a loop, all the time changing the frame being
tested.

Like I said: it will be much easier if you provide just one
configuration for the frame in which you see the problem, because then
I could try changing the font and the dimensions until I succeed in
triggering.

Or maybe you could just post the real-life scenario where this
happened to you.  Or did that also happen when you invoke recenter in
a loop?

People who can reproduce this are welcome to debug the problem and
describe what they saw.
