I played around a little with these two commands, which sort of
worked, but also confused vim so that I had to refresh the display
with ^L after the second one.

:call system(">/dev/tty tput rmcup")
:call system(">/dev/tty tput smcup")

Have you tried using tmux or screen? Tmux will let you run vim in
one screen and a shell in another and easily switch back and forth
between the two. That's not what you asked for, but may be close
enough to meet your needs.
