So there's no way of browsing the definition and keeping the list of
candidates available, except by scrolling the definition from another
window?  That's indeed surprising.

Right, maybe the quit-window approach would be less surprising overall.

The alternative implementation was pushed to scratch/xref, and it's waiting for Martin's comments (bug#19468).

Why is that insistence on restoring the window configuration useful?
Emacs users should be already used to the fact that Emacs pops buffers
in windows all the time, so IMO there's nothing terribly wrong in
leaving the window configuration changed.

Basically, I want the user to be able to easily return to the window configuration that was before xref-find-definitions was called. Or, if they picked a definition, make the process of selecting not leave its traces on the window configuration.
