It's what it's supposed to be: if you eval it in an X frame, you get 'x, in a console frame you get nil. > Also, is the documentation on the multi-tty branch updated to reflect > changes in interfaces etc. (where it matters).

You're right, apparently a large amount of work is needed before this branch can go in HEAD, your plan for an immediate release is the most reasonable course of action. I will have to wait some more before seeing these features in mainline Emacs...
