Hmm... I can't reproduce it.
I run the above code in emacs-24's "emacs -Q" and then switch between
frames (by moving my mouse since I don't have a M-TAB binding but I use
focus-follows-mouse).  `provoke' is run alright (checked with
trace-function), but (length timer-idle-list) stays constant (value 2,
one for blink-cursor and the other for jit-lock).
