    That's true.  But what about:

        (save-window-excursion (forward-char 1) (select-window (next-window)))

    I'd expect this to move the window's cursor by one char.

No, that is not what it should do.  (select-window (next-window))
positions point at the position for the other window, and that is the
value that should remain in effect.

So I think there is no bug here.
