No, I think it is doing the right thing. It doesn't make any sense for YOUR code to delete the only window that exists. If it just switched buffers (to what? what rule should apply in this case? A random buffer selection?) then it isn't doing what you requested - which is to delete the window.
I think a bit more thought on your side should be applied rather than suggesting that Emacs behaviour change to suit you.
