Yes I see that too.

At least the docstring of other-frame-prefix (and friends) should
be clearer about it's effect. I don't think I'm supposed to know 
which commands use switch-to-buffer internally.

If the default value isn't changed, maybe other-frame-prefix
should let bind it to t since if you're using it you presumably
want a new frame.  Same for the window and tab variants.
project.el seems to do this in project--other-place-command 
which the project-other-{frame,window,tab}-commands use.
