As long as "C-x C--" uses 'message' to display these instructions,
nothing can be done, because what you see is the usual behavior of
messages displayed in the echo area: they follow the selected frame.

Perhaps the frame-switch event should simply empty the echo area.
Patches to that effect are welcome.
