No, I think it is doing the right thing. It doesn't make any sense for YOUR 
code to delete the only window that exists. If it just switched buffers (to 
what? what rule should apply in this case? A random buffer selection?) then it 
isn't doing what you requested - which is to delete the window.

I think a bit more thought on your side should be applied rather than 
suggesting that Emacs behaviour change to suit you.
