I see no reason to display a warning in that case. It's completely
legitimate; moreover, a non-selected window will almost always display
a buffer that is not the current buffer, and annoying warnings in
those cases will just ... annoy.

Once again, the warning is an orthogonal issue. I'm not opposed to
displaying a warning in cases where the caller might have intended
something else. But let's please first fix the actual issue that
started this thread, and that wasn't the lack of warning.
