Why three-liner?  I see one-liners in your comments.  I tried to
replace the whole display-buffer-below-selected with your one-liner
(display-buffer-in-direction buffer (cons '(direction . below) alist))
and also the whole display-buffer-at-bottom with your one-liner
(display-buffer-in-direction buffer (cons '(direction . bottom) alist))
and everything works fine, I see no problems.
