Fixed, and closing the bug.

[Message part 3 (message/rfc822, inline)]

This part of the doc string needs improvement:

 Optional second arg non-nil (interactively, prefix argument) says to
 delete any existing frames that the frameset doesn't mention.
 (Otherwise, these frames are iconified.)

It makes no sense at all, if the register is not for a frame
configuration.

And the interactive behavior (e.g. for the prefix arg) should be
presented before the Lisp description of arguments.  And instead of (or
at least in addition to) talking about the "first" and "second" args it
should refer to them by name.  And the first line could helpfully say
"Move point to location stored in REGISTER".
