I think there is a misunderstanding.  The recipe I posted above is 
self-contained and reproduces the issue.
The problem is that custom-raised-buttons is initialized once and for all to a 
value that depends on whether the current frame when cus-edit is loaded is a 
graphical frame.  Then all other frames, graphical or not, use that value.
