I see two problems:

(1) 'clone-indirect-buffer-other-window' would still have to obey the
    DISPLAY_FLAG argument.  Some application may rely on the fact that
    'clone-indirect-buffer-other-window' doesn't display the buffer if
    it is nil.

(2) 'switch-to-buffer-other-window' does not get passed the NORECORD
    argument.
