So what you want is probably (twice)

      (when (and (window-live-p (nth 2 quit-restore))
                 (not (eq (selected-window) (minibuffer-window))))
        (select-window (nth 2 quit-restore))))

But note that quitting the minibuffer will restore the previous window
configuration and thus undo that selection and all other changes done
by 'quit-restore-window' anyway.
