Sometimes a separate frame gets automatically killed along with its
buffer, so you should not call `delete-frame' after `kill-this-buffer'.
However, in the special case there's another function which wants to do
something in the *Group* frame after you killed it. You would have to
tell us which package is responsible for creating the *Group* frame in
order to find out where the error comes from.

Dear Emacs users,
I'm using "GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
2.12.9) of 2008-11-06". I think this is not a bug. I have a simple
function:
(defun kill-this-buffer-and-frame ()
(interactive)
(kill-this-buffer)
(delete-frame))
It works as intended (that is, it kills the buffer and deletes the
frame) most of the time, but sometimes (I haven't been able to
determine when) I get:
Wrong type argument: frame-live-p, #<dead frame *Group* 0x91ca460>
and it doesn't work. I'd be very grateful for any help or commentary.
Regards,
luis

Try using:
(when (frame-live-p (selected-frame)) (delete-frame))
or (probably better):
(when (and (frame-live-p (selected-frame))
(kill-this-buffer))
(delete-frame))
