No problem, let's clarify.

Since then the value of `post-command-hook` is no longer the
buffer-local value you had in the buffer where you invoked the command,
and in our case that buffer-local value is the one that includes
`completion-preview--post-command`, where we would update (or dismiss)
the completion preview for that (original) buffer.

What do you mean? All commands "cause `post-command-hook`", no?
We show/hide/update the preview during `post-command-hook`. So for
example, when `post-command-hook` runs after `self-insert-command`, we
don't dismiss the preview, in fact we show it. Does that make sense?
> If post-command-hook should always dismiss the preview
That's not the case, see above.

Even if it were the case, we would need to handle the case when
`post-command-hook` runs in a different buffer, with a different
buffer-local value, after switching. And indeed we need to handle that
case, which is what this patch does.
Here's a recipe that you can try to see this patch in action:
1. emacs -Q
2. M-x completion-preview-mode RET
3. Type `(def` and see the preview appears
4. C-x 4 b foo RET
Without this patch, you'd now see the preview linger in the window
showing the *scratch* buffer. With this patch, the preview disappears
as soon as you switch to the other window.
Best,
Eshel
