I am on the latest emacs-w3m CVS. What is the value of
W3M-USE-TITLE-BUFFER-NAME in your configuration? I have
W3M-USE-TITLE-BUFFER-NAME set to T; this is probably why I see the bug
and you are not able to reproduce it. If you set
W3M-USE-TITLE-BUFFER-NAME to T, then open new w3m buffers, eval
(mapcar #'w3m-buffer-number (w3m-list-buffers)) will show that there are
multiple buffers with the same number.

Removing the conditional for W3M-USE-TITLE-BUFFER-NAME is another bug in
the version of W3M-GENERATE-NEW-BUFFER from revision 1.184. I am not
sure how this one surfaces.
