This looks fishy.

This looks even more fishy.

Clearly these two lines should go before save-current-buffer (since
they don't affect current-buffer).

After moving those two lines, this set-buffer can be combined with
save-current-buffer into with-current-buffer.

Could it be that `interactive' is nil?

No.  And the above fishiness should have no impact either.
