bug#52590: 29.0.50; emacsclient --reuse-frame not working

Hi all and thanks for your great work.

When running an Emacs daemon and using the --reuse-frame option with
emacsclient on macOS 12.1 (21C52) an existing frame never actually gets
reused. There will always be a new frame.
Please let me know if I can provide more information to help fix this.

greetings,
Oliver

Do you have a complete recipe to reproduce this problem, starting from
"emacs -Q"?

Hi Lars,

sure:

cd ~/Developer
git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs.git
cd emacs
make clean && make distclean
PATH=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/texinfo/6.8/bin:$PATH ./configure --with-mailutils
PATH=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/texinfo/6.8/bin:$PATH ./configure make
PATH=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/texinfo/6.8/bin:$PATH ./configure make install
~/Developer/emacs/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q
M-x server-start
~/Developer/emacs/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient -r
~/a.txt
~/Developer/emacs/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient -r
~/b.txt

(a this point I have 3 frames open)

ls $TMPDIR/emacs`id -u`
shows the socket named: server

In emacsclient.c I see this in the switch-statement which might be related:

        case 'r':
          create_frame = true;
          reuse_frame = true;
          break;

Thanks for your time
Oliver

Thanks; I can reproduce this problem in Macos, but not on Debian.
Perhaps Alan has an idea what this could be about; added to the CCs.
