How could it?  For example, Drew's code that causes this crash does
this:

    (save-window-excursion (select-frame frame)
                           (or (eq major-mode 'image-mode)
                               image-minor-mode))

Are you saying tha this isn't kosher, because the body of
save-window-excursion is not allowed to select a different frame?

Or am I missing something?
