Okay, understood. There is a bug, but it's not in 'iconify'.
MoveToPage moves the window even if it already is on the current
page. I can fix that. This is still an issue if the original
window position is not on the current viewport. I wanted to clean
this up anyway before 2.4 is released. Thanks for the reminder :-)
