Why do you think so?  The selected frame is frame 1 ever since C-x o
selected it (and it did so twice in a row).

I'm not sure I understand what you mean here.  Do you mean that C-x 5 o
after the C-g does not select window2?

What was abnormal before?

> I'll try patch (2) later. It sounds logical to me.
