Hmm. bug #6872 was addressed by trunk r101176, which suppresses the 
primary update on handle_switch_frame, but, well, that only covers that 
immediate frame switch case.  Kinda need to address switching between 
individual windows too (or actually instead since handle_switch_frame 
will always wind up calling select_window itself, I think).  However, 
select-window itself is not a command afaiui, and enumerating all 
potential window-switching commands is probably not viable.  I can't say 
I like the attached solution (modelled on the deactivate-mark variable) 
very much, though nor did I have any especially better ideas.
