Emacs doesn't pop up the *Backtrace* buffer by default so the "average"
user is not affected. And the average user is not supposed to customize
`pop-up-frame-function' either. I intended this as a hint for people
writing, for example, a silly `pop-up-frame-function' so they can find
the cuplrit easier. And, obviously, if a function is allowed to return
nil, the doc-string of the function should say so.
