Very nice!  So the original patch is pushed, and now the OP can happily use:

  (setq display-buffer-base-action '(nil . ((some-window . mru))))

and I can use:

  (defvar-local display-buffer-last-window nil)
  (setq display-buffer-base-action
        '(nil . ((some-window
                  . (lambda (_buffer alist)
                      (let ((last-window (buffer-local-value
                                          'display-buffer-last-window
                                          (window-buffer))))
                        (or (and (window-live-p last-window) last-window)
                            (get-mru-window nil nil t))))))))
  (define-advice display-buffer-record-window (:after (type window buffer))
    (with-current-buffer (window-buffer)
      (setq-local display-buffer-last-window window)))

that works nicely even for showing buffers repeatedly
in the selected window.  And all commands are supported,
even to show diffs from vc-dir.
