Before means before the change that sets w->pointm?  Are you sure it's
not related to upgrading to the new window code?

Just to make sure: This does not happen with the w->pointm hack?  If so,
that is if it does not happen with the w->pointm hack, then it's
obviously what I mentioned in the last post: We set window-point to 1
for the temporary buffer but we don't reset it back to the old buffer's
position upon exiting `vertical-motion'.  Rather _you_ did set the old
buffer's window point to 1 and it stays put there when you set w->buffer
to old_buffer upon exiting `vertical-motion'.  (Note that
`vertical-motion' gets called by `split-window-above-each-other'.)
