This happened in revision 90833 of `pop-to-buffer' from 2008-09-13.
Since then `pop-to-buffer' doesn't reselect the selected window.

The culprit is this conditional

    (unless (eq new-window old-window)
      ;; `display-buffer' has chosen another window, select it.

which does not select the *info* window because it was already selected
before but obviously doesn't record the *info* buffer either :-(

I'm running my code without the conditional for more than two months
now so it shouldn't harm if you remove it as well.
