The node says this in the beginning:

 A register can store a position, a piece of text, a rectangle, a
 number, a window configuration, or a file name, but only one thing at
 any given time.  Whatever you store in a register remains there until
 you store something else in that register.  To see what register R
 contains, use 'M-x view-register':

But the subnodes also talk about holding a frame-configuration in a
register.  Should the top-level node be updated similarly?

Instead, although the node name wasn't updated, use of such registers was simply added to the node titled `Saving Window Configurations in Registers'.  A frame config is not a window config.  The node is named (for `Info-goto-node') `Configuration Parameters', so putting this info in that node is fine.  But the node title is misleading.

Fixed on the emacs-29 branch, and closing the bug.
