It gives a hint.  Can you type "bt" before you type "n" here:

> 11985     if (FRAME_ICONIFIED_P (f))
> (gdb) n

and show the resulting backtrace?  Also, type "bt" _after_ you type
"n" there and see this line:

> Ffuncall (nargs=1, args=args <at> entry=0x7fffffffd258) at eval.c:3048
> 3048      lisp_eval_depth--;

You see, FRAME_ICONIFIED_P doesn't call Ffuncall, and there's no such
call anywhere in sight inside x_iconify_frame.  So either the macro
FRAME_ICONIFIED_P somehow signaled an error (which I don't think can
happen), or something else kicked us out of the function when we tried
to see if the frame is already iconified.  The question is: what did
kick us out and why?
