More digging reveals that redisplay isn't called.  Once it _is_ called
(e.g., by just waiting for about 2 minutes, to let the sit-for in the
command loop to do its thing), the selected window is correctly
updated.

What drives me crazy is that "C-x o", which basically just calls
Fselect_window, does cause redisplay to be called.  The only
difference between "C-x o" and the code I'm debugging is that "C-x o"
produces an input event, while the code I'm looking into does not.
Does that ring a bell perhaps?

I didn't try that, but I bet it will show redisplay isn't called.  I
put a breakpoint in redisplay_internal, and it wasn't hit until 2
minutes or so later.
