Thanks, now I see that 'comint-mode', 'compilation-mode' and some
other modes set buffer-local 'window-point-insertion-type' to t.

Ah, now I see that 'copy-marker' supports the argument for
'window-point-insertion-type'.

Indeed, the difference between selected/non-selected windows is here:

	  /* Save w's value of point in the window configuration.  If w
	     is the selected window, then get the value of point from
	     the buffer; pointm is garbage in the selected window.  */
	  if (EQ (window, selected_window))
	    p->pointm = build_marker (XBUFFER (w->contents),
				      BUF_PT (XBUFFER (w->contents)),
				      BUF_PT_BYTE (XBUFFER (w->contents)));
	  else
	    p->pointm = Fcopy_marker (w->pointm, Qnil);
	  p->old_pointm = Fcopy_marker (w->old_pointm, Qnil);
	  XMARKER (p->pointm)->insertion_type = window_point_insertion_type;
	  XMARKER (p->old_pointm)->insertion_type = window_point_insertion_type;

So the complete fix is just in 1 line:
