    Maybe this is related to the following comment in the docstring of
    pop-up-frame-function:

       This function itself does not make the new frame the selected frame.
       The previously selected frame remains selected.  However, the
       window system may select the new frame for its own reasons, for
       instance if the frame appears under the mouse pointer and your
       setup is for focus to follow the pointer.

    So maybe Fdisplay_buffer should protect against it with
    something like the
    patch below.  Does it help?

  Sorry about the botched patch.  Try this one instead,

Thanks for considering this a bug - I wasn't sure it would be looked at that
way.

I can't build from C sources and test this myself, but I'll take your word
for it that it's fixed. If someone else happens to do a Windows build,
perhaps s?he could confirm.  Thanks.
