Because the implementation of interactive-p (and called-interactively-p)
is brittle: it looks at the latest stack frames to see the name of the
caller, so if you add things between the call to `call-interactively'
and the corresponding function call, it gets confused.

To work around it, don't use `interactive-p' and instead add an optional
argument (call it `interactive') to your function and pass it an
explicit non-nil value from the interactive spec.
