I'd rather we just make sure that whichever display-function is used
behaves tolerably when the handler (incorrectly) displayed the
buffer already.

And we should push to fix those misbehaving handlers.  I understand it
can sometimes require some code surgery, but that's a reason to try and
tolerate it, not a reason to refrain from asking for improvement.
