Would it be more sensible to do something different than showing the
partially redisplayed window with a non-blinking cursor?  Even if Emacs
successfully aborted redisplay and everything is good, people might
think Emacs is still frozen because it looks frozen. That's what
happened to me: I thought the feature wouldn't work with my config for
some reason, until I tried to select a different window and then - ah! -
that actually works!  But it took some time...

Yes, I saw the warning window pop up, but it still just looked frozen
anyway.
