1. emacs -Q

2. Open a file under version control, e.g. lisp/vc/ediff-util.el

3. Selecting some text with the mouse seems to increase the chance of the
   error occurring, maybe even select some text in another application

4. M-x ediff-revision RET RET RET RET

5. q RET

Sometimes this results in error

set-frame-parameter: Wrong type argument: frame-live-p, #<dead frame Ediff 0x560ee1b46200>

With

(trace-function-background 'set-frame-parameter)
(trace-function-background 'x-dnd-after-move-frame)
(trace-function-background 'handle-move-frame)

prior to quitting ediff, the error is logged as

1 -> (handle-move-frame (move-frame (#<dead frame Ediff 0x5643a7425888>)))
| 2 -> (x-dnd-after-move-frame #<dead frame Ediff 0x5643a7425888>)

I've just closed it, since what remains to be fixed is really another
