The switch-to-buffer-preserve-window-point affects point when you

No, I verified that it happens when "z" is not displayed in any window.
Maybe we should provide set-preserved-window-point? Or
set-user-visible-point which would set all of point, window-point, and
preserved window-point (although I'm not sure how to deal with the
multi-window case cleanly)?
