Ah, true. I missed the fact that buffers with spaces in front were not
displayed in the buffer list. I use custom code to quickly switch
between recent buffers, so that s-tab is the most recent buffer, C-tab
the second most recent buffer, and C-s-tab the third most recent
buffer. I did not know about that convention, so I ended up seeing a lot
of these deletion buffers. But it's really my fault, not dired's, and
marking buffers that shouldn't be switched to is really better than
deleting them. Sorry about that.
