This seems to come from the following part at the beginning of
delete_frame:

  else if (!EQ (force, Qnoelisp) && !other_frames (f, !NILP (force)))
    {
      if (NILP (force))
        error ("Attempt to delete the sole visible or iconified frame");
      else
        error ("Attempt to delete the only frame");
    }

The original code there was:

  if (NILP (force) && !other_visible_frames (f))
    error ("Attempt to delete the sole visible or iconified frame");

Martin, why did you decide to disallow frame deletion when the FORCE
argument is t?  This makes delete-frame violate its documented
contract, whereby if FORCE == Qt, the fact that other frames are not
visible doesn't count.
