Ah.  It must be some subtle conditions.  You can get it from opening a
directory under -Q, even when the directory is an absolute path

  emacs -Q -batch $HOME -eval '(message "%S" default-directory)'
  =>
  "~/"

Somehow the debian site bits (ie. emacs -q) for me do similar to files
too.

Hmm.  So it works with empty for the current buffer, but perhaps not
quite ready for an arbitrary named buffer.

Oh, that's scary if you forgot what you did! :-)

One thing I like for a preview is to keep the current displayed position
in the preview so you can see the changes affecting some place.  The w3m
"R" reload does that.
