I think so, too, but I don't use this combination of features, so I'm
not sure.

It does seem natural that killing a buffer would remove it from the list
of buffers ido-mode offers up, though, so I'm not totally sure whether
any ido users really expect this behaviour, or if they've just lived
with it as a bug.

Any opinions here?
