Really?

Pick your favorite release, e.g. Emacs 23.3 or the latest Emacs 24 pretest, and
do this:

emacs -Q

C-x 5 2

Move a frame if necessary, so they overlap.

M-: (lower-frame)

The frame with the focus, where you typed `M-:', is lowered (moved to the back),
but it still has the input focus (is still selected).  `M-x' and other input
show up in its minibuffer, and its title bar is highlighted to indicate that it
is selected.

So I don't understand what you mean.  It sounds like what you are saying
contradicts what I see.
