Let's start with a much simpler reproducer:

  . emacs -Q
  . Type "C-x" and wait until you see "C-x-" in the echo area
  . Type "5 2"

Result: a new frame is displayed, with both frames showing the
"C-x 5 2" echo, which already sounds like a bug (only one frame should
show it).

Now type "C-p" -- only one of the two echo messages will disappear,
the one in the non-selected window stays put.

This didn't happen in Emacs 24.5, where the "C-x 5 2" echo is first
cleared, and then redisplayed after the new frame is created.

According to my testing, this problem appeared between Aug 31 and Sep
30 last year.
