I just provided a new specifier for `display-buffer-alist' called
other-window-means-other-frame. Please set it and tell me whether it
works (Sometimes I wonder what `find-file-other-frame' is for ;-)).

Does this mean that in Emacs 23 you have `display-buffer-reuse-frames'
nil and `pop-up-frames' t?
Anyway. Why don't you remove all instances of reuse-window from
`display-buffer-alist' that would use a window on another frame, that
is, use only instances of the (reuse-window ... ... nil) type. This way
a window gets reused iff it's on the selected frame.

It's been already removed from there. Please have a look.
