Yes, tho only for people who were using a single Emacs displaying frames
on several X11 displays.
I feel like it's a change for the better, obviously.  This command has
never clearly specified what it did in the case where there are several
terminals because it was written at a time where Emacs did not support
this mode of operation.  So, AFAICT even the behavior change is a bug fix.
