The different quitting behavior was what made the test case fail so I
mentioned it.

Yes.  Anything else would be an inconsistency we would have to fix.

Modulo the fact that Stefan always wanted and probably still wants to
get rid of functions like ‘find-file-other-window’ and
‘find-file-other-frame’ and move their functionality to ‘find-file’ and
I still don't know how to do that and probably never will.
