Not sure what you mean by "the current buffer" above, but I suspect you mean "the buffer that I visually see as being the current one" (i.e. that corresponds to the buffer of the window that was selected at the time the display is refreshed). This is not the definition of `current-buffer`, although the two are tightly linked in practice by the fact that `current-buffer` is set to the buffer of the window that is selected at the time a user causes a command to be run.
