vim: switch to unlisted buffer dir

In netrw version 134 I could use the following work pattern:

open dir x
select file a
:b#     back to dir x
select file b
:b#     back to dir x
select file c
... etc ...

But in netw version 149 this doesn't work.

The b# refuses to redisplay the directory buffer, which is unlisted.

How can I convince b# to display the unlisted directory buffer?

Thanks!
