Good catch, I suppose.  I've eliminated this stuff in my Emacs for some
time.  Basically, the function no_switch_window defined in buffer.c has

if (EQ (minibuf_window, window))
     return "Cannot switch buffers in minibuffer window";

which prints the error message.  Surprisingly no_switch_window is called
by `switch-to-buffer' as

   err = no_switch_window (selected_window);
   if (err)
     /* If can't display in current window, let pop-to-buffer
        try some other window. */
     return call3 (intern ("pop-to-buffer"), buffer, Qnil, norecord);

so Emacs should ignore this but God knows what really happens.

Please file a bug report and we will (hopefully) take care of it.

Hi,

I'm not sure what causes it but once it breaks it makes my current emacs
session very hard to use as I can't switch buffers. Basically once it
starts any attempt to execute:

(bs-show "all")

Causes emacs to complain that I "Cannot switch buffers in minibuffer
window" despite not being in the minibuffer. Has anyone ever come across
this sticky minibuffer behaviour and how to get out of it?
