IIRC 'same-frames' had no clear semantics.  As for the selected window,
use 'display-buffer-same-window'.  As for a new window on the selected
frame, use 'display-buffer-pop-up-window'.  As for any other window on
the selected frame, use either ‘display-buffer-use-some-window’ or
‘display-buffer-use-least-recent-window’ with a nil 'lru-frames' action
alist entry.
