bug#23507: 24.3; Mac OS X proxy icon disappears when frame-title-format is set in .emacs

[Christopher Crawford <christopher.b.crawford@gmail.com>]

Using the following one-line .emacs file:

(setq frame-title-format '("%b @ " system-name))

removes the proxy icon from the mode line when opening ~/.emacs, for example.
After emacs is running, if I evaluate the two lines:

(setq frame-title-format t)
(setq frame-title-format '("%b @ " system-name))

the proxy icon reappears with the rest of the title format specified.
