More or less what you described earlier in another thread. Which is quite expected, since the frame is created by a separate thread, and the display-until library doesn't give Emacs a chance to create it before it calls 'redisplay' (which has nothing to redisplay, as the frame is not official yet), and then immediately goes into the sleep-for loop (which doesn't redisplay). I think.
