But you have not only selected the buffer, you have modified the
buffer-window correspondence, and the doc string hints that you might
have forced a redisplay:

,----[ C-h f set-window-buffer RET ]
| set-window-buffer is a built-in function.
| (set-window-buffer WINDOW BUFFER)
|
| Make WINDOW display BUFFER as its contents.
| BUFFER can be a buffer or buffer name.
`----

Does replacing (progn (set-window-buffer ...) ...) with
(with-current-buffer (set-buffer buffer) ...) work?
