I don't understand.  The definition of frame-internal-border-width is
this:

  DEFUN ("frame-internal-border-width", Fframe_internal_border_width, Sframe_internal_border_width, 0, 1, 0,
	 doc: /* Return width of FRAME's internal border in pixels.  */)
    (Lisp_Object frame)
  {
    return make_number (FRAME_INTERNAL_BORDER_WIDTH (decode_any_frame (frame)));
  }

This can only return numbers, never nil, even when we are on a text
terminal.  Are you sure you don't override this definition with some
local code?

Thanks.
