The patch below should fix this. Thanks to Martin Rudalics who
helped me with the window internals.
A proper solution requires GNU Emacs 24. For Emacs 23 the required
functions do not exist. As a workaround, you can now make the *BBDB*
window "weakly dedicated". That should most often have the same effect.

See the new variable bbdb-mua-pop-up-window-size which complements
bbdb-pop-up-window-size.
Also, I made bbdb-message-pop-up an obsolete alias for
bbdb-mua-pop-up. The latter name is more consistent with other
variable names.
Finally, this patch enables horizontal window splitting not only
with the mua-auto-update feature. But you get a horizontally split
BBDB window with any of the respective bbdb-mua-* commands, if the
value of bbdb-mua-pop-up is 'horiz.

* lisp/bbdb.el (bbdb-dedicated-window): New user variable.
(bbdb-mua-pop-up): Renamed from bbdb-message-pop-up. Doc fix.
(bbdb-mua-pop-up-window-size): New variable.
(bbdb-pop-up-window-size): Doc fix. Allow value t.
(bbdb-pop-up-window): Use it. Simplify. Use
display-buffer-record-window / set-window-dedicated-p so that the
BBDB window is popped up such that quit-window can delete it.
Suggested by Martin Rudalics.
(bbdb-display-records): Clean up.
* lisp/bbdb-mua.el (bbdb-mua-mode-alist): New variable.
(bbdb-mua): Use it.
(bbdb-mua-window-p): New function.
(bbdb-mua-display-records, bbdb-mua-edit-field)
(bbdb-mua-auto-update): Use it.
