I don't think they planned on getting Buffy with Xander any time soon. Her detour through Angel land was going to be a long one. I just think they were setting up to have Xander pick up the post-Becoming pieces. Or at least, I think folks who expected something like that have a basis in the actual story for thinking it'd work that way.
