Yes.  The original complaint from several users was that frame cycling does not 
work as expected - at least `previous-frame' should move to the previously 
selected frame.  Of course that implies what you are saying (if `next-frame' 
does the opposite of `previous-frame').

A nice solution to the issue is shown in the OS X "application switching" 
mechanism (Command-Tab).  If Command is held, we keep switching along the list, 
without entering a cycle.  If Command is released (as in Command-Tab, 
Command-Tab), we switch back to the previously selected frame.

Another solution might be to have `previous-frame' and `other-frame' use 
`norecord'.  I haven't tried this.
