sry, now i noticed it only happens when different files with the same name
opened in each frame... , here's what i did:

emacs -Q
opening file a/util.c and a/util.h side by side, save window configuration
in register (C-x r f a)
then file b/util.c and b/util.h, (C-x r f b)

when i want to restore register 'a' (C-x r j a) emacs opens random buffers
instead, but register 'b' works.

i tried last commit of branch 'emacs-24' today and it still happens, but
emacs-24.3 works fine.
