Does it change anything when you remove the `walk-windows' from your
function?  Then we would know that `walk-windows' is responsible for
triggering it.  Maybe run_window_configuration_change_hook messes it up
after `walk-windows'.

Could you try to run this with GDB, set a breakpoint in select_window at
the

      XSETFASTINT (w->use_time, window_select_count);

line, and get a backtrace when(ever) this is hit for the lower window?
