We warn about this in the Elisp manual:
* The semantics of maximizing and iconifying child frames is highly
window-system dependent. As a rule, applications should never
invoke these operations for child frames.
I'm not sure whether we should do more about this given the fact that
these operations may and should work well on other window systems.
BTW: Does ‘make-frame-visible’ invoked for the child frame make it
responsive again?
