Neither of these deal with 'reusable-frames' or 'lru-frames'.

Suppose an application calls ‘display-buffer’ with a non-nil
'same-frame' alist entry. If we want an existing action function to
obey that entry and we do not want to rewrite that function, we could
have 'display-buffer' add a (reusable-frames . nil) (lru-frames . nil)
pair to the alist.

It could do what I meant above - translate 'same-frame' internally.

You already would change the existing 'display-buffer-pop-up-frame'. If
you think that change is sufficient, I will obviously stop thinking.

When the selected frame is a minibuffer-only frame, 'display-buffer'
usually tries to think of 'last-nonminibuffer-frame' as the selected
frame. So probably 'same-frame' should do the same. But all I can do
is to hint at inconsistencies in your proposal.
