This bug is yet another consequence of using ‘switch-to-buffer’ in Elisp
code.  Years back I failed miserably curing that, see

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2011-07/msg00306.html

and

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2011-09/msg00020.html

My advice is the same as ever: Always use ‘pop-to-buffer-same-window’
in Elisp code instead.
