1)  emacs -nw -Q
2) in *scratch*, evaluating
     (make-frame-on-display (gentenv "DISPLAY"))
   or
     (make-frame-on-display (gentenv "DISPLAY")
                            '((width . 80) (height . 10)))
   works fine
3) but, when including `name' as one of the frame parameters:
     (make-frame-on-display (gentenv "DISPLAY")
                            '((name . "foo")))
 one gets the following error:

I have now checked a proper fix for this into the CVS trunk (which will
eventually lead into Emacs 23.2).

Thanks for the bug report.
