Aha! That's the reason, thanks. I guess that the random-ness of the
position takes into account any other windows so that the result is not
too awful, ie. all the windows having the same position, etc. I made a
small change to the check for whether the system window is in the world's
bounds by assuming 1% of the window's extent as leeway. Attached,
hopefully it helps anyone who is in the same situation as me.
