You're obfuscating the underlying behavior with the 'dired-next-line'
and 'goto-char' calls but the final points are different without that.

Without your explicit moves, `dired' moves to the first file name in
the lower directory here.  So 'dired-move-to-filename' was called when
reverting the buffer and the 'set-window-configuration' "restores" the
lower window's point from the buffer's point because that window is
the selected one.  To confirm, try with the upper window selected
instead.
