bad help + minibuffer + frame interaction

[Chong Yidong]

emacs -Q
C-x 5 2   (This creates 2 frames, frame 1 and frame 2)
[Select frame 1]
M-x
[Select frame 2]
C-h f

Select frame 1. You see the prompt "M-x" in the echo area, but if you try
to select it, either with the mouse or with `other-window', you can't get
there.

Select frame 2. Go in the minibuffer and `C-g'. "M-x" now appears in the
echo area for frame 2.

This strange behavior is special to the help functions. Other commands
that use the minibuffer give a "Command attempted to use minibuffer when
active" error when the minibuffer is in use on another frame.
