OK.  I asked because in your report you didn't give a detailed scenario
for how to reproduce the crash.

I intend to replace all instances wherever I find them in C code.  Since
set_window_buffer does run_window_configuration_change_hook anyway and
IIUC we don't forbid that, the change won't fix much of the dilemma that
we run Lisp code on unfinished frames.  But Fset_window_buffer's extra
work is only wasted for minibuffers.
