Do you mean that if I have two 'pop-to-buffer' calls within one and the
same command, the first one has a (select-window . nil) entry and the
second one no such entry, then the entry from the first call will cause
the window from the second call to get deselected?  If so, then this
deserves a special explanation in the manual.
