Have you seen the PROBLEMS entry

** When Emacs is compiled with Gtk+, closing a display kills Emacs.

?

Except for the part "I then closed the frame". The known problem talks
about the X frame closing unexpectedly, which maybe is not your case,
but my experience was that the Emacs server will crash whenever you
close the remote frame by clicking on the frame's Close button. See for
example
