bug#32790: 27.0.50; point jumps unexpectedly after delete-window

It's possible to implement it with post-command-hook, but the
implementation will be more contorted - note that adding a hook
to post-command-hook by a command will run it immediately
at the end of this command and immediately remove the hook.

Whereas window-state-change-functions elegantly checks
if the window displays a new buffer.

What do you mean by quitting an S-M-up action?  minibuffer-exit?

Right.  Since I agree this is not an expected behavior, here is a better
version without this problem.  Instead of display-buffer-overriding-action,
it uses display-buffer-alist because only display-buffer-alist
supports a condition necessary to check for an active minibuffer.

(defun display-buffer-directionally ()
  "Specify in which direction the buffer should be displayed.
Arrows show the direction.  Mod-0 forces to display in the same window."
  (interactive)
  (let* ((dir (event-basic-type (aref (this-command-keys) 0)))
         (win (if (eq dir ?0)
                  (selected-window)
                (or (window-in-direction dir)
                    (split-window nil nil dir)))))
    (let ((hook (list 'lambda)))
      (setcdr hook `((window alist)
                     (when (and (eq window ,win)
                                (not (eq (nth 1 (assq 'buffer alist))
                                         (nth 2 (assq 'buffer alist)))))
                       (setq display-buffer-alist (cdr display-buffer-alist))
                       (remove-hook 'window-state-change-functions ',hook))))
      (add-hook 'window-state-change-functions hook))
    (setq display-buffer-alist
          (cons `((lambda (_buffer-name _action) ; condition
                    (= (minibuffer-depth) 0))
                  (lambda (buffer alist)         ; action
                    (window--display-buffer buffer ,win 'reuse alist)))
                display-buffer-alist))))
