Yes, it's because of this:
`set-window-point' is a built-in function
(set-window-point WINDOW POS)
Documentation:
[...] The equivalence of the selected window's point with its buffer's
point is maintained throughout XEmacs. [...]
It's brain damage, but it might cause breakage if the invariant were
taken out.
