(defmacro with-inhibit-window-configuration-change-hook (frame &rest body)
  "Inhibit `window-configuration-change-hook' on FRAME in BODY."
  (declare (indent 1) (debug t))
  (let ((frame-var (make-symbol "frame")))
    `(let ((,frame-var (window-normalize-frame ,frame)))
       (unwind-protect
           (progn
             (frame-after-make-frame ,frame-var nil)
             ,@body)
         (frame-after-make-frame ,frame-var t)))))

It seems to inhibit running the hook, but there is still the case of
set-window-start in window--state-put-2.  Using the NOFORCE works, but I
don't know the implications of this in other cases.
