When `bury-buffer' restores the buffer previously shown in the selected
window, it also restores that buffer's `window-start' and `window-point'
position in the window.  If the window is selected, this implicitly
moves the buffer's point to the window's point.  This means that if the
restored buffer's point was changed before calling `bury-buffer', that
position is lost.

I don't know whether this is the cause of Thierry's problem.  If it is,
and people think it is the wrong thing to do in this case, I can make
`bury-buffer' (and `replace-buffer-in-windows') call `other-buffer' as
before.  Alternatively, I could try to not restore `window-start' and
`window-point' if the restored buffer does not appear on another window.
But I'm not sure how intuitive such a change would be.
