No that's doesn't work, i finally end up with this: :-)

,----
| (defun ioccur-visible-buffer-p (buffer)
|   "Can i see this buffer in this window."
|   (let* ((cur-w-conf (current-window-configuration)))
|     (or (eq buf (get-buffer buffer))
|         (save-window-excursion
|           (save-selected-window
|             (pop-to-buffer buffer))
|           ;; If BUFFER is NOT in same window than BUF
|           ;; We should have now another window configuration.
|           (compare-window-configurations
|            cur-w-conf (current-window-configuration))))))
`----


What i needed is `save-selected-window'.
