Yes.  I'm using (top . -1).

That should be focus redirection at work.  'Type "q" in help window to
delete it.' is a hint that the normal frame is not selected internally
so C-x 1 would not work.  I see no logical flaws till here.

Thanks.  I have no idea why this happens - window point and start are
both at 1 and the buffer is empty.  Either redisplay gets confused or
this is by design ...
