I'm not sure which scenario you're referring to.  What I was referring
to is the fact that if you do `M-: (message "hello") RET`, the "hello"
message subsequently follows the selected frame (until it gets replaced
by another message or erased by command that doesn't emit any message).

Personally I philosophically like the (non-default) nil setting for the
new variable, so that minibuffers stick to the frame where they
presumably operate.

But since my Emacs only has a single mini window anyway, I'm never
affected by this setting at all, so I don't have any real experience
either way.
