As I read the bug report, it's quite simple:
Here is what is CLAIMED to happen with bury-buffer:
When you use bury-buffer to bury the buffer in the selected window,
the NEXT buffer to be shown in the selected window is chosen with a
preference to show a buffer which has previously been shown in a
window.
So if you have buffers xyz (in the selected window), *scratch* (shown
before), and *Messages* (not shown before), then:
- doing bury-buffer once will bury xyz and show *scratch*, and
- doing bury-buffer again will bury *scratch* and show xyz.
I.e. *Messages* is not shown as a result of bury-buffer since it has
not been shown before.
The CLAIM is then that (mode-line-)unbury-buffer should not choose to
show *Messages* either, but it may do that.
However, using CVS emacs, I cannot even get bury-buffer to work as
reported, so I'm still not sure what the exact problem is.
