   With the above definition, I still get (reproduce-bug) returning
   ((#<dead frame emacs@localhost.localdomain 0xa2ae808> . t))
   instead of nil.

crazy idea...  have you tried doing this experiment under ratpoison?
for the record:

i recall emacs21 had weak-hash problems, but i think those were
fixed in emacs22.  such problems when hacking EDB were one reason
i transitioned away from being an emacs21 holdout (about two years
ago).
