Actually, I'm not sure there is a bug here.  The case for reproduction
here is from the command line, and the thing that bugs out is that the
command-line setup is trying to switch to the buffer that we already
killed with --eval, and ido doesn't seem to be involved, really.

That is:

./src/emacs -Q -f recentf-mode --eval '(setq ido-use-virtual-buffers t)' -f 
ido-mode /tmp/foo

and then `C-x k RET' and `M-x ido-insert-buffer RET foo RET' works as
designed.

So I'm closing this bug report.  If I misunderstood what this was all
about, please respond to the debbugs address and we'll reopen.
