This is not normal Emacs behavior. I think you are saying it depends on your init file. Please include the relevant parts of your init file in a bug report. The reason Emacs calls raise-frame when programmatically switching frames is in case the frame it switches to is hidden by another Emacs frame. It has been doing this for some ten years, and you're the first person to complain. Perhaps we can find a consensus for what Emacs should do in that situation. But if not, you can edit Emacs and turn raise-frame into a no-op.
