I can get that effect when opening a modified file:

$ emacs -Q
(progn
 (package-initialize)
 (require 'other-frame-window)
 (other-frame-window-mode 1))

C-x f /Projects/elpa/packages/other-frame-window/other-frame-window.el

# back in shell:
$ touch /Projects/elpa/packages/other-frame-window/other-frame-window.el

# in Emacs:
C-x 9 f /Projects/elpa/packages/other-frame-window/other-frame-window.el
# get prompt; answer yes

opens in same frame. Without the prompt, it opens a new frame.

So the prompt is consuming the other-frame prefix, despite the advice
around read-from-minibuffer.
