Please also do:

  M-: (setq switch-to-buffer-obey-display-actions t)

What we could do to improve this:

1. enable switch-to-buffer-obey-display-actions by default;

2. mention switch-to-buffer-obey-display-actions in more docstrings.

Currently the docstring of windmove-display-in-direction has this text:

  "When `switch-to-buffer-obey-display-actions' is non-nil,
  `switch-to-buffer' commands are also supported."

Maybe the same text should be copied to all commands that use
windmove-display-in-direction, i.e. to windmove-display-right,
etc.
