I don't think I agree with such narrowing of the scope, certainly not
as an unconditional default behavior.  There are definitely situations
where an informational message in the echo-area needs to attract the
user's attention.

I also think your proposal would have an un-proportionally large
effect, whereas the original problem is quite minor.  Is it possible
to have a solution that only affects this particular use case?  E.g.,
can we delay the message until the new frame is created?

Thanks.
