IMHO the "nice" way is to only draw the map once. One must not forget
details like for e.g. when you're in the W or E border you really want to
see the adjacent tiles because the map wraps around. But still i think no
tile should be drawn twice.

About the top left corner tile coordinates being kept: This has really
caused some aggravation in the past. IMHO these coordinates should be
either floating point or in pixel sized instead of tile sized coordinates.
Since that would involve changing alot of the code i never changed it.
