As its documentation says, `read-buffer' is supposed to read an arbitrary
buffer name.  In practice, it seems it can read only a name to switch the
buffer to.

OTOH, `rename-buffer' doesn't need the full functionality of `read-buffer':
buffer name completion and the default name in the prompt are no needed,
but the default accessible via M-n for editing and its history list are
needed, and `read-string' supports this.  Fixed in CVS.
