At least with Emacs 24.1 but it should work with earlier versions too.

Do you mean the frame did show another buffer before?  Anyway, that's a
different issue.  The code is supposed only for testing with the three
functions `recover-file', `save-buffers-kill-emacs' and
`dired-mark-pop-up'.  It's possible that some of my changes also affect
quitting *Help* windows and the like.  Tell me the value of the *Help*
window's `quit-restore' parameter.

> IOW, the *Help* frame is apparently no longer special-display as it should be.

It still is and should call `frame-auto-hide-function'.
