The bar cursor must have been put where it is by redisplay. If the root
has no text where the bar cursor is, it must have been the display of
the child. Maybe the bar is still in the invisible child?

That would fit with the fact that you can move the bar to the root frame
with the mouse IIUC, which should mean that C-x 5 o probably also works.

I suspect make-frame-invisible has to do something. Do we have to
change selected-frame maybe? Or something like that?

Please tell if you'd like me to take a look at this. I'm away for the
rest of the evening, so it would have to wait 'til tomorrow, alas.
