Okay, I don't understand emacs's internals nor elisp to judge this. As I 
see, it doesn't attract the user's attention. It does some scroll 
related stuff. Like keeping the last written line at the bottom, or so.

Anyways, as adding a "t" parameter to select-window seems to fix the 
issue for me, I'll just add it into my term.el. Feel free to close this 
issue if you think that's not a term.el bug.
