Where do these strongly dedicated windows come from?

Good.

Please report these cases.  I suspect that in most cases the problem is
not bury-buffer's behavior but that the command should not call
bury-buffer (or not with a nil arg).

That's indeed a case where (bury-buffer nil) was the wrong thing to do.
