I gave it a play and actually found a small tweak that I needed to add to my original blog example, which was also the reason it was failing when you tried switching to a Render View in the panel. It needed a parent paneLayout.
Here is a modified gist, where it starts with embedding the Render View: https://gist.github.com/justinfx/9027370 The downside, from this quick test, is that because the renderView is a unique scripted panel, there can only be one. If another panel switches to it, it will grab it away from your panel. And if the actual Render View window is brought up, it will grab it and disable the selection from other panels until it is closed. So I am not sure if that it something you want to work around or not. In that same gist, I added a second file of something playing around with the callbacks for the Render View. It shows how you could watch the panel callbacks of the Render View and update your own panel. So maybe, for instance, if you lose the Render View panel, you switch to something that indicates "Render View panel lost", and maybe show a button to grab it back. And when it gets removed from another view, you could check where it is, and if no one else is viewing it you could grab it back automatically.
