You're describing the test, not its intention.

> Non-nil was designed to mean that `display-buffer' uses another frame.

Actually, it's a bit more complex than that, since display-buffer may
use another frame even if pop-up-frames is nil (e.g. via
special-display-buffer-names), or it may use the same frame even when
pop-up-frames is non-nil, e.g. if it's already displayed.

Do you have some example to point to, so we can try and see what new
predicate to define to provided the needed info?
