It's a corner case. Choose something appropriate. Not worth arguing about at the outset. One possibility: Kill the buffer, then call `delete-frame'. The latter attempt raises an error, and you end up, at worst, in the situation that arises today: another buffer in the special-display frame. Not appropriate, but a more minor bug than doing that systematically. Another possibility: Make killing the buffer and deleting the frame transactional, i.e., acting together like an atomic action. Raise an error before killing the buffer if deleting the frame afterward would raise an error. Another possibility: Do like we do for `buffer-quit-function' or `frame-auto-hide-function': provide an option to let the user decide. Propose another possibility, if you like. And another. But this should be the last thing to worry about. Debate it at the end if there is interest. It should not sidetrack fixing the bug, taking it down a rabbit hole to never-never land.
