   Yes, I go back to the minibuffer after the S-down.

   "This is GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (i386-msvc-nt5.1.2600)
   of 2003-05-27 on CASA"

   (i.e., Emacs from yesterday's CVS HEAD, compiled on Windows XP with
   Visual Studio .NET).

That *is* weird because I can reproduce he bug, in CVS downloaded just
moments ago.  In fact, the following line is from the *Messages*
buffer immediately after the exercise:

windmove-do-window-select: No window at down

It is hard to see why this should be operating system dependent.

(emacs-version)

"GNU Emacs 21.3.50.89 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit)\n of 2003-05-27
on swt40.swt.com"

This is RedHat 7.2.
