That is ok now, except it doesn't honor 
(setq split-width-threshold nil)
The window is splitted | (vertically?)

`switch-to-buffer-other-window' still not working as expected.
Maybe you can try ioccur.el and see what happen.
It is working as expected as it is, you will have to uncomment the line
with switch-to-buffer...(L964) and comment the next one
pop-to-buffer...(L965) In the function `ioccur'.

You can get it here
hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/ioccur
cd ../ioccur
hg update -C development
