To clarify the issue:

(defun dictionary-do-matching (word dictionary strategy function)
 "Search for WORD with STRATEGY in DICTIONARY and display them 
 with FUNCTION."

;;This insertion is thrown away...

 (insert (format-message "Lookup matching words for `%s' in `%s' 
 using `%s'\n"
                         word dictionary strategy))

;; [OMITTED FUNCTION BODY]

;; ...when this display function is called
   (funcall function reply)))
