And why is this a bug? global-hl-line-sticky-flag non-nil means the
highlight in non-selected windows is not removed:
(defun global-hl-line-maybe-unhighlight ()
"Maybe deactivate the Global-Hl-Line overlay on the current line.
Specifically, when `global-hl-line-sticky-flag' is nil deactivate
all such overlays in all buffers except the current one."
So "C-x o" leaves the highlighting overlay in the window that was
selected, and it will remain at the same position until that window
becomes selected again, because highlighting is moved only in the
selected window.
If you don't like these effects of global-hl-line-sticky-flag, then
don't use it. It's off by default, presumably due to these effects.
