bug#11651: Special display is not dedicated any more

[Stefan Monnier]

Package: Emacs
Version: 24.1.50

Something's wrong with the way the `dedicated' bit is set:

  % src/emacs -Q --eval '(setq special-display-regexps (quote ("\\*.*\\*")))'
  C-h v values RET
  M-: (window-dedicated-p nil) RET
  q

The M-: shows that the window is not marked dedicated as it should.
And the `q' shows the consequence: rather than hiding the frame, Emacs
switches to some other buffer.

This was probably introduced in the last couple weeks.
