Right. Paraphrasing my message, I like to keep useful snippets
highlighted in one window while working in another; it's frustrating to
have this break down just because both windows happen to display the
same buffer.

That's fair. My argument for keeping it open would be that people who
would be able and willing to scratch that itch in the future might not
think to search for closed reports; but then again I suppose there's not
a lot of information in our present discussion that they wouldn't be
able to rediscover on their own.
Thanks for reporting this nonetheless; if anything, seeing someone else
bothered by the current behaviour was mildly cathartic.
