Well, your code behaved differently depending on whether the buffer
already existed or not.

Ok, I used the excerpt you posted and edited it very slightly. There
was indeed a problem: `special-mode', from which your mode derived,
makes the buffer read-only. So I suggest to bind `inhibit-read-only' to
ignore the read-only flag, since I assume you want the buffer to stay
read-only.
This is the slightly edited example, that indeed works as expected (and
for every call the same):
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defvar kodi-remote-keyboard-mode-map
(let ((map (make-sparse-keymap))
;; (menu-map (make-sparse-keymap))
)
(define-key map (kbd "-") #'kodi-remote-volume-decrease)
(define-key map (kbd "<tab>") #'kodi-remote-toggle-fullscreen)
map)
"Keymap for kodi-remote-keyboard-mode.")
(define-derived-mode kodi-remote-keyboard-mode special-mode "kodi-remote-keyboard"
"Major mode for remote controlling kodi instance with keyboard commands
Key bindings:
\\{kodi-remote-keyboard-mode-map}")
(defun kodi-remote-keyboard ()
"Open a `kodi-remote-keyboard-mode' buffer."
(interactive)
(let* ((name "*kodi-remote-keyboard*")
(buffer (get-buffer-create name)))
(unless (eq buffer (current-buffer))
(with-current-buffer buffer
(let ((inhibit-read-only t))
(erase-buffer)
(kodi-remote-keyboard-mode)
(insert (concat "Kodi Remote:\n"
(substitute-command-keys
"\\{kodi-remote-keyboard-mode-map}"))))
(switch-to-buffer-other-window buffer)))))
#+end_src
HTH,
Michael.
