(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got no response at
the time.)
I don't think we have a specific policy for how these commands are
supposed to open windows -- and the list you mention aren't consistent,
either. For instance, run-python pops open a new window, but doesn't
select it, while inferior-octave selects the new window.
I guess it depends on what the people who wrote these packages
preferred -- perhaps it's more likely that you type things in a scheme
buffer, but use a python inferior buffer only for evaling things from a
.py buffer?
So I'm closing this bug report.
