I managed to track it down. You have to do ":set nowrap" too. Now even if no lines in the file are long enough for 'wrap' to make a difference, the bug will occur. I suggest starting with a long file and doing "50%" to go in half-way. Then ":call Test()" and the cursor line from the original window is now at the bottom instead of half-way down that window.
