Since there have been no more comments, I've now merged my main patch to 
the master branch as 2bdcf0250ac.

For the Emacs 30 branch, how about this? It just unconditionally renders 
the full page first, which should be the least error-prone (at the cost 
of some wasted CPU cycles).

However, in this version of the patch, we inhibit loading images when 
temporarily rendering the full page. That way we don't *also* waste 
network bandwidth.
