Interesting. It seems to work properly for me. I wonder what is different about your Vim/configuration. Not that it matters, since, as you say, the problem has been solved. And yes, I think most of us would agree that the distinction between windows and buffers and so on is indeed quite subtle and can be confusing, at least to start with (if not for a good while longer!).
