I am not able to reproduce anymore. Now it just works without errors. I have restarted Emacs and 
probably "cleaned up" all the layers of bad code I was accumulating :-)

The solution I choose for now is a variant of what Abby suggested:

(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist
             '("\\*rg\\*"
               (display-buffer-below-selected display-buffer-at-bottom)
               (inhibit-same-window . t)
               (window-height . balance-windows)))

which will split horizontally, open the window at the botton with height evenly split 
(balance-windows). I am not sure if I need `inhibit-same-window`.

But thanks anyway, today I've learned something new!
