Maybe this is an emacs(-version "23.0.95.1") bug?

NA> I don't know your ibuffer-and-update-other-window, but I believe
NA> emacs-w3m doesn't associate filename. Evaluating both (buffer-file-name)
NA> and buffer-file-name returns nil. Yes, emacs-w3m sets page title to
NA> `list-buffers-directory', but this variable doesn't mean filename.
