That is too general: it affects _all_ use of display-buffer, including,
crucially, `pop-to-buffer'.  In that context, the effect is not just
annoying, it's downright dangerous (as the user expects the keyboard
focus to be the new popped-to buffer -- and it _looks_ like it is
because the window is raised -- but in fact, the frame focus doesn't
change).

So setting `display-buffer-reuse-frames' to t is not reasonable.

If it really drives you nuts, make a special variable for this case or
something.  But please don't change the existing behavior.
