But why precisely does Fselect_window fail here?

Be careful in one additional regard: The display engine calls
Fselect_window too for its own purposes.

Yes. But this is an effect the user/application might want - explicitly
select some other window to, for example (I'm purely speculating), select
a completion window right away. Iris OTOH never wants to select another
window explicitly.

We cannot disallow it. We can only undo its effect. And that would
constitute an incompatible change - do you really want to go for it?
