Silly me.  So far this apparently never caused any problems because
command_loop_1 makes the buffer of the selected window current.  But it
will affect any code running after calling 'window-state-put' up to and
including the next 'post-command-hook'.

The attached patch (including the former changes) should fix it.  I left
the old 'select-window' call in just for the case that its effect is
used elsewhere in a function called by 'window--state-put-2' later.

Many thanks for the analysis, martin
