I think you're thinking/working too hard.

When you request a map, find the current xastir zoom level, get the
next OSM level up (or maybe nearest match?) at a size equal to or
larger than the xastir window (this is the key!), and then stay out of
xastir's way while it does it's thing drawing the display.
