I guess that'd be difficult to fix...  but could we do something about
how this works in an emacsclient context?

That is, if you `M-x' and then change frames in a normal GUI Emacs, the
`M-x' will follow you around.  There's no such concept in emacsclient as
an "active frame", but could we somehow make minibuffer commands abort
the action in other frames?
