Yes, I guess that's it.

In the recipe, when you are in emacs -Q, it's enough to select the
second window before the last step to make the issue happen.

There is no restoration of the old window's window-point, I think it's
the buffer's current value of point that becomes window-point in the
first window.  I verified here that when running the recipe the function
`window-prev-buffers' is never consulted.

Michael.
