Let me restate what I said in clearer terms.

   Of course you're free to do whatever you want in
   special-display-function, but if it doesn't follow the behavior
   described by display-buffer's docstring and you get undesirable
   behavior, then I will consider it as a bug in *your* code rather than
   in Emacs.
