Usually, windows are split in order to display the completion buffer. However, I can imagine that a user wants to have only one window displayed that is showing the completions he can choose from. Of course, this requires that either the user explicitely deletes minibuffer-selected-window. I guess it would have to do something else to decide which buffer to use, not based on minibuffer-selected-window or anything like that. It could arbitrarily pick some other window in the right frame and use its buffer. I wouldn't bother handling this case, though.
