Yep, I forgot it. Strange thing is, it worked without it :/ 

Let me correct it, what I now have is:

  (setq switch-to-prev-buffer-skip-regexp "\\*[^*]+\\*")

And I wrongly added a switch-to-next-buffer-skip-regexp, which does not
exist, the switch-to-prev-buffer-skip-regexp variable does it for both
prev/next functions.

That said, the behaviour is the same as I first described.
