The docs you quoted say "if the value is a function, call it with no
arguments and switch to the buffer that it returns", but your function
does not return a buffer (it returns the string "~/").
I'm not sure what your ultimate intent was. However, if you're trying to
run `org-agenda-list' but show a buffer visiting your home directory,
maybe this will help:
(setq initial-buffer-choice
(lambda ()
(org-agenda-list)
(find-file "~/")))
The difference is that `find-file' visits "~/" and returns a buffer. I
omitted the "*Org Agenda*" line from your example because it has no
effect.
