It's really surprising that with-current-buffer-window does this -- it
sounds like a general variation on with-selected-window, but it's not:
It's meant to be used to pop up help buffers, and this should be
documented.

with-current-buffer/with-selected-window etc do not inhibit any hooks in
the buffers them handle.
