Emacs always shows echo-area messages in the selected frame.  What you
see is the result of visiting the new file in the existing frame, and
only after that creating the new frame.  This order is the result of
fixing bug#24218, which solved another unpleasant and annoying aspect
of visiting a file in a client frame.  See commit 49fc040.

The question is: can we somehow prevent your annoyance without
re-introducing that other one.

Thanks.
