Yes, but minibuffer-auto-raise is nil by default.

I understand.

So here's an idea.  Does the following change work for you in your
original scenario?

diff --git a/lisp/server.el b/lisp/server.el
index 45fa55a..b23fdc4 100644
--- a/lisp/server.el
+++ b/lisp/server.el

             (set-buffer obuf)
 	    ;; separately for each file, in sync with post-command hooks,
 	    ;; with the new buffer current:

If this works, then can you test this in several situations different
from yours, including:

  . invoking emacsclient without -t when there's a GUI client frame
    that is iconified
  . an existing client frame is visible (not iconified)
  . visiting a file that is already visited

and maybe others, and see if the message displayed by
shell-script-mode appears as expected, and causes the right frame to
be raised (if needed)?  (It might be that in some of these situations
we need to avoid binding minibuffer-auto-raise to nil, in which case
server-visit-files will need some additional logic or an additional
argument to discern between them.)

Thanks.
