So the same change I just proposed to fix this bug was first proposed by 
Dan for bug#1310, but Stefan responded thus:

    > So, any reason why above patch cannot be checked in?

    I've installed a slightly more bold patch which just removes the
    FRAME_INITIAL_P check altogether.

(there seem to be a lot of intermediate mails missing from that bug 
report, so it is not clear if there was a problem pointed out with Dan's 
proposed patch, or Stefan just did not foresee this type of problem and 
thought it was safe to go further - Cc'ed both for their recollection of 
events).
