Yes the one of `point'.

The `anything-buffer' disapear from window, the
`anything-current-buffer' is shown with the original position of `point'
and the action function should jump to another position. 

IIRC i had same problem before with `anything-current-position', i fixed
with the optional arg NOFORCE of `set-window-start'.
It was this time to restore an initial position in
`anything-current-buffer'.
Again a `sit-for' call before was also working.

Starting from Wednesday, i will be at home and in a better position to
debug this.
