Do you think `display-buffer-no-window' should return 'fail instead of t
when the user overrides the default action?

Then it could be defined as:

(defun display-buffer-no-window (buffer alist)
  (when (cdr (assq 'allow-no-window alist))
    'fail))

And the user customization:

(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist '("\\*compilation\\*" 
display-buffer-no-window (nil)))
