It seems Madhu is referencing this commit:

https://github.com/magit/transient/commit/c7ad1f01f4ff9e5125bcec99dfb9c3dedadfc369

and these discussions

https://github.com/magit/transient/issues/34
https://github.com/magit/transient/issues/44

that claim transient breaks with an unusual display-buffer-alist
configuration.
