Thank you for the tip!

Here are my results:

Emacs frame partially covered by an Emacs frame: Nothing happens. Mouse input
does not seem to go anywhere.

Emacs frame partially covered by a Windows explorer window: Emacs scrolls
normally, that is, in my case there is some flickering. But nothing like what
happens with a child frame.
