So you are saying that this is an issue with the fine timing of when
the event arrives? And if it arrived a bit later, it would have been
processed correctly?

I'm not sure this is the correct fix. If a frame is not yet in the
list of live frames exposed to Lisp, it might mean the frame is not
yet fully set up, and some code running off the dynamic-setting
machinery could similarly fail, right?
Wouldn't it be better to delay the processing of this event until the
frame is fully set?
