That's OK, update_menu_bar, called by prepare_menu_bars, does TRT in
your case and returns immediately without doing anything.

The problem is in x_consider_frame_title, which actually switches to
other frames and updates their titles.  As strange as it sounds, the
code explicitly tries to update the titles of non-GUI frames as well,
although I don't see the point in that.  To be on the safe side, the
change I proposed disables the update of the frame title only for TTY
frames other than the top frame, the only one that is visible on a
TTY.
