selected-frame returns different values after popping up a new frame

["Mark T. Kennedy" <mkennedy@diamondbackcap.com>]

recipe:

1) start emacs with "-Q"

2) type "M-: (selected-frame) RET" and see that the initial frame is returned
   in the echo area

3) type "C-x 5 b foo RET" and pop up a new frame with a new buffer, foo

4) in the original frame (displaying the *scratch* buffer), type
   "M-: (selected-frame) RET" and see that the special minibuffer frame
   is returned now instead of the original frame.
