I confess I did not look into precisely what Emacs 23 does, I just saw
that pop-up-frames defaults to nil there. (See below.)

I don't think that can be it.
Here's what the addition of a simple:
(message "%s:%s" buffer-or-name method)
to display-buffer in the trunk shows:
./src/emacs -Q -batch README INSTALL BUGS
INSTALL:reuse-window
INSTALL:pop-up-window
BUGS:reuse-window
BUGS:pop-up-window
BUGS:pop-up-frame
Unknown terminal type
Adding similar stuff to emacs-23, I see that display-buffer's cond tries
the special-display-function branch (no match), the pop-up-windows
branch (no window-to-use), and ends up in the last branch, where it
finds a window-to-use every time. So it never tries to pop-up a frame.
