FWIW, it doesn't surprise me: splitting a window still leaves the
buffer displayed in one of the two windows, so the contract promised
by "dedicated" still holds.  We just made another window where there
was none before, that's all.

So yes, I think the ability to split such windows can be desirable 9in
some use cases.
