Are these "things", including dead windows, allowed to be the selected
window of a frame that gets input messages from Windows, i.e. is at
least visible, if not in the foreground?

Only a non-leaf window can have its w->contents be something other
than a buffer, right?  If BUFFERP(w->contents) returns zero and
XBUFFER hits an assertion violation, what else can this window be
except non-leaf?

I don't think so.  I examined the preprocessed source, and didn't see
any instance of missing parentheses.  I added some just so someone who
looks at the macros won't wonder, like I did, whether this could be
the problem.

But even if you are right, and the problem will now disappear, we can
still resolve this bug by simply going back to the original code.
