Both needs exist: to work in older Emacsen, and to be "clean and
simple". I care more about the second one.

I know, which is why with-inhibit-window-changes would probably not
really prevent changing windows; instead it would work hard to limit
window changes to those that can be fully reverted by
save-window-excursion.

Indeed. After pop-to-buffer it should "always" be the case that
current-buffer is the specified buffer and selected-window displays
that buffer.
