With Emacs 28 (-Q), the active minibuffer is moved from frame F1 to frame F2 at step (iii), _before_ you answer the C-x 8 RET. That is, the active minibuffer is moved from frame F1 to frame F2 whenever you switch from frame F1 to frame F2. With Emacs 21-27, this happens only at step (iv), _after_ you hit C-x 8 RET. That is, the active minibuffer is moved from frame F1 to frame F2 only when you activate a new minibuffer on frame F2.
