Well, my patch _does_ fix the inconsistency, by tying each minibuffer
absolutely to the frame it acts on.  It never occurred to me, until a
few days ago, that anybody might find that strategy strange or awkward.

Otherwise, to fix this inconsistency in Isearch (when there's a
minibuffer open in another frame), we must either always pull the
minibuffer into the Isearch frame, or never.

I favour the "never" option of course, but going with "always", the
logical endpoint is surely that an open minibuffer will always be
displayed on the currently selected frame.  It is only slightly more
extreme to display that minibuffer on _every_ frame.

That would be consistent, but I don't think I would like it very much.
