Well, back in September when this was discussed, one of the suggestions
for the OP was to look into the "communications between emacsclient
and the server on the Emacs side, and see what is passed there."  When I
asked how to do this, I was pointed at the server log.

And the results do seem relevant.  I ran "emacsclient -c" twice within a
short period of time, and the server log showed 2 frames being created.
So *some* code in Emacs thought the first frame was created, even though
it didn't show up in the output from (frame-list).

And I still think it's suspicious that the bad frame seems to match a
frame that was deleted earlier.

It's a pretty vanilla build of 24.5 on Debian stable.

I'll go ahead and open a bug.
