Well, it does for me, and I think that's because the order of saving
the frames is such that the selected frame is saved last (and thus
restored last).

How is that relevant?

Selected frame and frame that has focus is not the same thing,
definitely not with an arbitrary window-manager.

But I asked for a reproducible recipe, and I don't think you have
shown one.  Could you please do that?  I'd like to study it.

Thanks.
