Well, yes, but that means "fixing" it everywhere; I mean:

emacs -Q
M-: (set-window-dedicated-p (selected-window) t) <RET>
M-x bury-buffer <RET>

and the frame is iconified. It shouldn't.

If switch-to-buffer is changed not to fallback on pop-to-buffer, why
shouldn't it be called from elisp? In the case of bs-cycle-next:

        (unless (window-dedicated-p (selected-window))
          ;; We don't want the frame iconified if the only window in the frame
          ;; happens to be dedicated
          (bury-buffer (current-buffer)))
        (switch-to-buffer next)

the current switch-to-buffer causes the unwanted-splitting behavior.
Changing it to pop-to-buffer-same-window, as its docstring suggests,
would still cause the same problem.
