Sorry for being unclear: I meant to point out that a non-daemon
startup initially has such a frame as well, and we never heard any
complaints about that.  Which might mean that some of the code
routinely run during startup expects to find that frame marked
visible.

OK, I've pushed the change.  Let's keep an eye on similar problems if
they pop up.
