Because, as someone remarked, at that time the frame is "not official
yet".  I haven't looked into the details but, if I understand correctly,
NOT running Lisp code in Fx_create_frame can detrimentally affect the
appearance of future frames.  Such design doesn't strike me as
particularly sane.  But maybe all functions run are of the benign type.
