I suppose you'd prefer to settle on a solution this weekend given the 
announced regressions-only, and I'm now unlikely to finish a 
probably-overengineered stab at a temporal-because-actually-timestamped 
approach today, and, well, the old approach I sent was a tad ugly too, so...

If such a postcommand-select-inhibit-list* defvar** was introduced and 
checked against instead of just hardcoding the two handle-select-window 
and handle-switch-frame, then whether or not you decide other-window 
also belongs on such a list by default, I could at least push 
other-window (and any other commands I encounter where it seems 
desirable) onto the list in my own ~/.emacs and reduce my local patching 
load...
