I suppose because `display-buffer-pop-up-window' cannot split the window
due to `split-height-threshold' being too large.  You really just wanted
to add (inhibit-same-window . t) somewhere.

A related problem: With emacs -Q insert and evaluate in *scratch* the
form

(customize-set-variable
 'display-buffer-alist
 '(("\\*.*\\*" . (display-buffer-pop-up-frame . nil))))

move point to "alist" and type M-$.  Gets me
