Yes.  EXWM creates a frame per monitor.  I have two monitors which is
equivalent to two frames.  I verified that by running `(frame-list)'
which gave me the following `(#<frame *Minibuf-1* 0x915df20> #<frame
*eshell* 0x1408c30>)'.

Very likely.  I didn't what to look for when this happened, but I almost
always have an eshell/ansi-term window open.

I am not sure.  In the stacktraces I looked at there was always a call
to `message', but I'm not sure what are the args to it.  Due to the
nature of my setup (i.e. using EXWM/Emacs as the window manager), when
this happen it is little hard to debug from inside Emacs and I have to
use gdb.  I am not sure how to get the args from gdb.
