Sorry, but I had to revert that once more in the light of bug#17007.  A
major aspect of `with-temp-buffer-window' was (and the doc-string
indicated it) to evaluate BODY in the original buffer in order to get
the local variables, settings and keybindings of that buffer right.  I
messed that up in the Emacs 24.3 version of the macro and now have it do
what the doc-string indicated then.  So you will have to change your
code as I suggested earlier.

As a remedy you can now use the new macro `with-current-buffer-window'
instead which does exactly what `with-temp-buffer-window' did in Emacs
24.3.  This might not be the most convenient way to work with the same
code in Emacs 24.3 and subsequent versions but it's the best I can
offer.

Apologizing again, martin
