You are right, I tried with the next-default-directory patch,
and it works like you described.

Alas, can't switch buffers because such commands as 'C-x p g'
read the default value from the current buffer.

The problem is in 'C-x C-j'.  In dired buffers it uses the value of
'dired-subdir-alist' instead of 'default-directory', so the patch with
'next-default-directory' doesn't help.
