Thanks.

This is a very minor problem.

Then switch-to-buffer should use a completion predicate that rules out
the current-buffer.  And the history functions should pay attention to it.

No, this is a hack that will surely bite us down the road.  The minor
problem it's trying to fix does not justify breaking abstraction in
this way.
