I noticed that in emacs 18.58 pop-to-buffer does not properly set the point
if that has been changed in the mean-time. Whereas switch-to-buffer does
this correctly. E.g:

(defun ttt (new-buffer)
  (interactive "bbuffer:")
  (set-buffer new-buffer)
  (goto-char 1)
  (pop-to-buffer new-buffer)
)

The point in new-buffer will not be at 1. It will if you replace
pop-to-buffer with switch-to-buffer. In 18.55 this was working correctly

I noticed that switch-to-buffer calls set-window-buffer whereas
pop-to-buffer calls select-window

select-window calls SET_PT (marker_position (w->pointm)) which (I think)
sets the point to the value it did have on the previous edit operation,
regardless of any changes made. In 18.55 this was only done if the old and
the new window had the same buffer.

I can temporarily go around this with the following;

(defun my-pop-to-buffer (buffer &optional other)
  (set-window-point (display-buffer buffer other) (point))
  (pop-to-buffer buffer other))
