Shouldn't (selected-window) be actually (minibuffer-selected-window)
in these cases anyway?  Otherwise, we probably should invent two
scenarios where either of the above would be preferable so we can make
a decision.

What does "otherwise" stand for here?  (I'm afraid your prefix
arguments are slowly getting over my head.)
