Eli, thanks for taking another look. AFAIK, posframe needs to be newer than what is released in ELPA. You can get the latest from <https://github.com/tumashu/posframe>

I also think that if you had the older version you would not have seen a tty-child-frame at all and so not have triggered the bug I see - In your test did C-x b bring up a tty child frame in the center of the window, or a regular minibuffer at the bottom of the screen?

(You are correct that I did not switch away from the selector in my repro steps, I selected the buffer and exited normally with RET).

I am back home from travelling and I see that emacs master has had several changes related to tty child frames, so I rebuilt (as at commit d83d090de11) and tried my test case again. Now rather than "blocking", emacs segfaults with:
