Do you use this as `display-buffer-function'?

Maybe.  I forgot that the C version of `display-buffer' used to call
no_switch_window.  Hence the error might result from there since
`bs-tmp-select-other-window' calls `display-buffer'.  With Emacs 23
no_switch_window is exclusively called by `switch-to-buffer' which is
still in C (I moved mine to Elisp and don't have no_switch_window any
more).

In any case signalling that bug in no_switch_window doesn't make sense
IMHO since thereafter `pop-to-buffer' is called anyway.
