It fixes the bug and the potential use case I mentioned earlier.  But
for this part

  /* If the new frame's selected window is the mini-window, select
     some other window if we don't have an active minibuffer there.  */
  if (MINI_WINDOW_P (XWINDOW (FRAME_SELECTED_WINDOW (f)))
      && !live_minibuffer_p (XWINDOW (FRAME_SELECTED_WINDOW (f))->contents))
    Fselect_window (Fframe_first_window (selected_frame), Qnil);

I would first have to understand why such a minibuffer window should be
OT1H its frame's selected window and OTOH not be active when switching
back to that frame.  As a user I can always do

(select-window (minibuffer-window))

regardless of whether a minibuffer is active.  Switching away from that
window's frame and back to it is problematic in Emacs 27 - no window has
the active cursor.  You apparently fixed this by selecting the frame's
first window when switching back.  Right?

One reason why I ask is because with emacs -Q and the present patch

(setq default-frame-alist '((minibuffer . nil)))

followed by C-x 5 2 and

(select-window (minibuffer-window))

in the new frame violates the assertion on line 548 of window.c

      /* Fselect_frame called us back so we've done all the work already.  */
      eassert (EQ (window, selected_window));

with the backtrace below.

Basically, I would try to avoid that a non-selected frame's selected
window is an inactive minibuffer window.  But I'm not sure how difficult
it is to achieve that.
