This function will probably not DTRT when the same buffer is displayed
in two windows with different values of point.  It should use an overlay
with a 'window' property.

If by "fails" you mean that 'window-state-put' does not select the
window selected at the time the corresponding 'window-state-get' was
run, then you should fix this in the tab bar code by recording the
frame's selected window together with the state and, depending on
whether the frame you put the state into is selected or not, either set
that frame's selected window or select that window.  The latter case
should then make that window's buffer current.

If by "fails" you mean that something in ‘window-state-put’ makes the
selected window not show the current buffer, we have to dig further.

But in neither case use 'set-buffer' to fix a window/buffer relationship
that has been screwed up elsewhere.
