I've now worked around the issue with the immediate error in this
setting, but the basic issue still remains -- in some of the
Man-notify-method methods, the error ends up changing the selected
window upon an error (which shouldn't happen).

Somebody should go through all the combinations for that variable and
iron out the problems so that this never happens (and open a new bug
report for that).
