My crystal ball tells me that you did the following:

(1) Remove one of these buffers from the last window that shows it -
    `point' goes to its `window-point'.

(2) Show this buffer in the other window.

In this case the test

(let* ((entry (and (get-buffer-window buffer 0)
                   (assq buffer (window-prev-buffers))))

will fail and the buffer will be shown at the position of its `point'.
Try

(let* ((entry (and ; (get-buffer-window buffer 0)
                   (assq buffer (window-prev-buffers))))

and I'm sure the function will do what you want.

Unfortunately, omitting that conjunct might give surprising results when
you switch to a buffer that you haven't seen for quite some time, in a
window where this buffer was shown earlier.  In this case you probably
do want to show the buffer at the position of `point'.
