Then why do you specify such alist entries in the first place?

I shall clean up the docstring of `pop-up-frame-alist' to make clear
that it _is_ used for creating normal new frames.

That someone was me and the bugs I introduced caused continuous crashes
of Emacs and many finance markets all over the world.  Let's hope for a
change then ...
