It's a documentation bug: that frame is deleted only if certain
conditions are met.  One of those conditions is that there are
visible frames on display besides the frame where the message was
composed.  In the -nw session, that condition is not met.  See
rmail-mail-return for more details about what is actually being done
in each case.

IOW: this is a feature, and (IMO) a reasonable one at that, it just
needs a better documentation.
