> I have non-nil `pop-up-frames'. I use the following function via `M-x

Emacs has a lot of commands postfixed with -other-window and
-other-frame. For example, `find-file-other-window' or
`switch-to-buffer-other-window' traditionally find a file or switch to a
buffer in another window on the same frame. By this convention,
`find-library-other-window' is not supposed to pop up a new frame.
If we want to maintain compatibility with the old behavior in this and
similar cases we'd have to segregate a set of reserved values for the
second argument of `display-buffer'. Preserving the classic "non-nil"
behavior is impossible if we want to use the new `display-buffer' code
(originally I favored let-binding to achieve that behavior but using an
argument was proposed by Stefan Monnier and overloading the second
argument by Juri Linkov - at the time that was discussed there were no
objections).
I have no objections interpreting the argument value `t' in the sense
that when `pop-up-frames' is non-nil and not unset, `display-buffer'
tries to pop up a new frame before it tries to pop up a new window.
