Yes, when exiting a recursive edit, Emacs will (try to) restore the
window configuration in place when the recursive edit was entered.

This can be somewhat confusing -- I can see why somebody would want to
avoid that.  Is there some user option to control this?  I have a brief
look, but didn't find anything.  If not, would it make sense to add one?
