Above you said that "Neither of those uses display-buffer".  Now
'gdb-display-source-buffer' is called exclusively (within gdb-mi.el) by
'gdb-goto-breakpoint' which has

                     (window (or (gdb-display-source-buffer buffer)
                                 (display-buffer buffer))))

so if 'gdb-display-source-buffer' fails, 'display-buffer' is called.
