Actually that comment from server.el is not about the difficulty of
moving minibuffers but about the problem caused by the lack of minibuffer
movement: if a minibuffer is active in terminal 1, then Emacs is in
a special mode where input from other terminals is ignored, so an
emacsclient opening a frame on a new terminal will display a "dead"
frame (in the sense that it doesn't respond to user input until the
minibuffer in terminal 1 is exited).

Alan's recent changes could actually be used to improve that behavior of
server.el by moving the active minibuffer(s) to the new frame instead of
aborting those minibuffers.
