The function in question doesn't call y-or-no-p, AFAICT.

When I call the function it does call, that call does not return if it
gets switch-frame events.  IOW, the function that asks the question
doesn't know the frame was switched, and cannot do what David probably
wants: switch frame and reissue the question.
