bug#2087: 23.0.60; problem with display-buffer and pop-to-buffer

I recently switched to CVS Emacs (of 1/15/2009 version). In
this version compilation-goto-locus (in compile.el) and
Man-notify-when-ready (in man.el), which are two that I've seen
problem so far, called either display-buffer or pop-to-buffer with a
non-nil and non-t value of 'other-window' parameter. 

It appears display-buffer is having a problem with such value. And, as
a result, the buffer intended to be popped up does not show. 

To reproduce this problem, start "runemacs -q" and then M-x man RET
procmail RET. The man page will not be displayed (even it has been
prepared in a buffer). 

Please take a look, thanks.
