What I meant is that `grep' uses `compilation-start' which uses
`display-buffer' and I don't understand how this is supposed to show the
buffer on ttys.  Juri Linkov noted

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-11/msg01832.html

but I'm not sure whether the subsequent fix has done any good or harm.

pop-"up"-frames I presume.

`display-buffer' with `pop-up-frames' was and is broken on ttys: Take
`display-warning' or `display-buffer-other-frame'.  `select-frame' based
commands like `info-lookup' are broken on graphical _and_ text-only
terminals.
