FWIW, it's normal for current-buffer to be different from (window-buffer
(selected-window)).  That happens all the time in Elisp (e.g. whenever
you use `set-buffer').

So if a piece of code needs the two to be "in sync" that code needs to
sync-them-up by hand.  Otherwise, it's better not to assume that the two
are related.

This is quite different from the issue of (selected-window) -vs-
(frame-selected-window) where this is (almost) always equal and that
equality can't be broken by Elisp code.
