AFAICT, this behavior is in general not unintended. In prior Emacs
versions, there was a problem that when you hit e.g. d d ... in the
debugger, the backtrace buffer sometimes was displayed in another window
for every time you hit d.
What you see is probably an annoying consequence of the related fix.
I suggest to make a bug report.

Try evaluating (setq debugger-previous-window nil).
