`frameset--restore-frame' has this

    (let* ((frame-id (frame-parameter frame 'frameset--parent-frame))
           (parent-frame
            (and frame-id (frameset-frame-with-id frame-id))))
      (when (frame-live-p parent-frame)
        (set-frame-parameter frame 'parent-frame parent-frame)))

and x_set_parent_frame has

  if (!NILP (new_value)
      && (!FRAMEP (new_value)
	  || !FRAME_LIVE_P (p = XFRAME (new_value))
	  || !FRAME_X_P (p)))
    {
      store_frame_param (f, Qparent_frame, old_value);
      error ("Invalid specification of `parent-frame'");

When you put a breakpoint at the last line I suppose it's the
FRAME_X_P (p) call that failed.  Can you confirm that?

If so, we would not have a window system window for the parent frame
yet and we might have to wait "somehow" until it has been created.
Too bad.

It might be interesting to find out whether `frameset--mini' has the
same problem and, if not, why.  After all the minibuffer frame is the
same as the parent frame.
