YAMBB - Yet Another Mini-Buffer Bug

In GNU Emacs 18.57.1 of Wed Jul 10 1991 on wombat.gnu.ai.mit.edu
(berkeley-unix) (bug works on 19.21 as well)

This is not much of a bug if at all.

Do:
C-x C-f C-x C-b C-x 1

You get an error saying "Attempt to minibuffer or sole ordinary
window." and the screen now only displays the *Buffer List* buffer,
the original window being deleted.

Hit C-g and the original display is restored.

What bugs (pun intended) me about this is:
1) The error message is wrong. I'm not trying to delete minibuffer or
sole ordinary window. In fact, I am trying to make minibuffer the
sole window being displayed. (C-x 1)
2) Why is the original window deleted? (even only temporarily)
