Is that a fact?  I might be mistaken, but my take on what Noam found
was that the selected window is OK, it's just that the window held in
W is dead (i.e. it was deleted inside the tempest that happened in
run_window_size_change_functions called by prepare_menu_bars).  So my
suggestion is to update W with the new selected window.

In general, if the selected window has no buffer, we are in deep
trouble, and not just in redisplay.  So I very much hope this is not
what happens here.
