I see.

I agree that widening a buffer that was narrowed on purpose can be
annoying, sometimes. Most times, I think I wouldn't mind the widening.
That said, I'm not quite sure what is the right fix for this.

I find it weird to have a subtly different thing happening depending
on whether or not the target buffer is narrowed -- entry shown in
normal buffer when no narrowing vs. entry shown in a special/indirect
buffer.

Also, given that no other part of org really uses indirect buffers, I
don't know if this function alone should make use of that feature.

Let me know what you think.

PS: I've patched my org sources to do indirect buffers for this, and
will try it out for sometime to see how it feels.
