‘raise-frame’ requires an interaction with the window manager. If the
latter decides that raising a minimized frame will give focus to that
frame that's it.
You might want to look into bug#745 where you can find many references
to window manager behaviors and older discussions on emacs-devel.

1. On a graphical session, do the following:
(setq other-frame (make-frame))
2. Iconify (minimize) the newly created frame.
3. Run the following:
(let ((cur (selected-frame)))
(raise-frame other-frame)
(select-frame cur))
Result: Even though that snippet ends with `(select-frame cur)', focus
is left on `other-frame'.
For comparison, try something else:
1. (setq other-frame (make-frame))
2. Switch back to the original frame, and make sure it is covering the newly created frame.
3. Run the following:
(let ((cur (selected-frame)))
(raise-frame other-frame)
(select-frame cur))
Result: other-frame is correctly raised while focus is correctly left on the original frame.

Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks for the reference.
I guess we can close this then.
