Most of those calls were bugs waiting to catch you in Emacs<23 ("you"
being typically a user like myself who uses dedicated windows and/or
minibuffer-only frames). In Emacs-23, I basically redefined
switch-to-buffer as something akin to pop-to-buffer-same-window which
fixes many of those bugs but introduces others.

Indeed, the manual needs to be fixed in this respect.

Not sure what that way would be.
