Ok, my original analysis was based on a mistake.  Moreover, tmux is
not really related to the problem at all, and neither is "C-x 3".

Here's a simpler way to reproduce the problem:

Open a terminal emulator (e.g., xterm) window, and in that window:

  emacs -Q --daemon
  emacsclient -t

Now open another terminal emulator window, and make it have a smaller
size.  Then, in that window:

  emacsclient -t
  C-x C-c

Now go back to the first xterm window and resize it (e.g., with a
mouse).  Emacs is now stuck in an infloop.

So the important players here are (1) a frame on another tty that has
a different size, and (2) resizing the frame after deleting another
frame on a different tty.
