So you're saying that C-x k's heuristic should be to try and restore the
previous window state?  I guess that could make sense, yes.

No, we want instead to try and think in each case which behavior would
make more sense.  And maybe you're right that in "all" cases, trying to
restore the previous window state is TRT, rather than choosing some
non-shown buffer.
