Same here on Windows XP for some value of "almost".  Irreproducible with
Emacs -Q.  Does it happen with Emacs -Q on your system?

FWIW, here the buffer in the "other" frame does not scroll but its
window's modeline values change to the same as in the other frame.
Maybe Stefan's attempt to synchronize selected frame and selected window
misfired.  Pure speculation, of course.
