`pop-to-buffer' docstring:

  If BUFFER-OR-NAME is nil, choose some other buffer [...]

`display-buffer-overriding-action':

  The value should be a cons cell (FUNCTIONS . ALIST), where
  FUNCTIONS is a function or a list of functions.
  Each function should accept two arguments: a buffer to
  display and an alist similar to ALIST. See `display-buffer'
  for details.

I think you set the mentioned alist to the the "action
function" `display-buffer-same-window' ...

Do as they say and see `display-buffer' for details ...
