If the command using the minibuffer is given on frame F1, and the selected frame becomes F2, the minibuffer sometimes moves, sometimes doesn't, depending on what the user does. For example, C-s in F2 doesn't usually move the minibuffer, but it will if you use C-x 8 RET. This is inconsistent.
You are confusing two things here: the minibuffer (for interactive use) and the echo area (for messages). C-s uses the echo area, C-x C-f and C-x 8 RET use the minibuffer.
I agree with you on one thing: C-x 8 RET should raise a "Command attempted to use minibuffer while in minibuffer" error in this case (when enable-recursive-minibuffers is nil, which is its default value). I'm not sure why it doesn't.
