This breakpoint actually hits whenever the emacs frame gets focus, and 
makes debugging quite annoying.
However, by inputting M-x + <tab> during the breakpoint and using the 
mouse when the frame does not
have focus, it is possible to execute (iconify-frame) interactively 
after triggering the breakpoint.

Here's the strange thing: when a breakpoint is set there, the issue is 
not present; when the breakpoint
is deleted and the procedure repeated, the issue reappears.

I would conjecture that this has to do with the state of the frame at 
the moment of (de-)/iconification,
since when the breakpoint IS present, I would have to be looking at gdb, 
cycling through 'continue's.
