It's tricky, indeed since redisplay will be performed repeatedly an will
tend to signal such warnings over and over again.  A good/natural way
for redisplay to signal such problems would be to display them directly
in the window (e.g. insert some threatening question mark or some such,
ideally with mouse-over highlighting and a help-echo-like text
explaining the problem).
