F1, F2, etc. are _not_ hints, they are actual names of the frames on a
tty. You can change that with the set-frame-name commands (and later
switch to a frame with a specific name with select-frame-by-name).
I think %F is what you want -- it's replaced with the frame name.
Emacs uses the variable mode-line-frame-identification for it, which
is computed differently on X and on a tty.
