"Works fine here."  (5.0.12 and 5.0.13)

Out of curiosity, if you remove the DISPLAY, does it work?  (If not,
then the DISPLAY is irrelevent.)

========== automatic

::input popup yn(1,yesno) "EXIT from auto? ":
:yn = "y":display (@sn) ; exit "2" ; errorbox "Oops!  It didn't exit from auto!":
:yn = "y":errorbox "Big oops!  How did I get here in auto?":
::end:

========== input

::end:
@entsel::show "Press \{X} to EXIT from input prc":
::end:
@keyX::input popup yn "EXIT from input? ":
:yn = "y":exit "3" ; errorbox "Oops!  It didn't exit from input!":
::end:
