I'm not sure what is its semantics either, but the problem you're
referring to is specifically when *creating* a new frame, so it
basically means that inhibit-switch-frame can only work reliably if it
prevents creation of new frames. But it might still make a difference
when using an existing frame by preventing that we raise that frame.
Not sure if it will also repvent it from being de-iconified (which
would again risk raising it outside of our control).
