The window-point jumps unexpectedly after minibuffer interaction when a
buffer is being displayed in two frames, and the frames do not have
their own minibuffers.

To reproduce: emacs -Q -D and create two frames displaying some buffer
at different points

(with-selected-frame (setq $a (make-frame '((minibuffer))))
  (let ((enable-local-variables :all))
    (view-emacs-news)
    (beginning-of-buffer)))

(with-selected-frame (setq $b (make-frame '((minibuffer))))
  (let ((enable-local-variables :all))
    (view-emacs-news)
    (end-of-buffer)))

Now select frame $b, and execute some minibuffer command:
M-: 1

The point in the window of frame $b, which was at the bottom now jumps
to the top of the buffer.  (This corresponds with the point in the
buffer in the other frame where it is displayed.
