Usually you run tests with ’make check’, and there’s no frame
available. I’ve just checked and it does throw up an error for that
test. I’m not sure how that should be handled.

complains push it to master. I’m not sure what to do about the test.
If nobody offers a suggestion here, you could ask in emacs-devel.

Thanks for working on this.
