Thanks, but this doesn't create a compilation-mode buffer here.
'vc-log-internal-common' has these lines

    ;; Display after setting up major-mode, so display-buffer-alist can know
    ;; the major-mode.
    (pop-to-buffer buffer)

so vc.el seems to be aware of the problem.  Can you please spot the
'pop-to-buffer' call responsible for the misbehavior in your scenario?

Thanks, martin
