Thank you!  Now it makes sense!

Interesting: With (sleep-for 0) both timer are executed after the block.
But with (sit-for 0) the output of the run-at-time is also interleaved.
According to the docs (redisplay) is the same as (sit-for 0) and indeed
this behaves the same.

This could be the root cause for my problem.  Some code in the mode hook
runs (redisplay) or (sit-for 0) leading to a premature execution of the
timer.

Very helpful!  Thanks again!
