Yes, I'm talking of strong dedication.

The semantics of strong dedication is not entirely clear to me, but
I'd say it is more about what happens to the window/buffer
correspondence, that what happens in other windows or to other
buffers. In other words, if I make a window strongly dedicated I'm not
saying I what I do want about other buffers or other windows, I'm only
saying "I don't want other buffers in this window".
I agree cases are not always clear cut, and I suppose that in other
situations I would find the behavior that you describe quite logical.
Not so for bs-cycle-next, whose purpose is to cycle buffers in the
current window (I should know, I was the one to propose these commands
to Olaf Sylvester quite a few years ago, and judging by the ChangeLogs
I'm the main user of bs.el among the Emacs developers ;-)
