My "interesting" result is that eventually the `foo' buffer ends being displayed on a regular window covering half the screen with its usual modeline. That window wont go away easily (C-x 1 while the other window is active has no effect). I'm using a 1-month old Emacs, so maybe the above is due to bugs already fixed.
