        AIUI, this has already been reported as #17352.  As a
        workaround, the latter suggests the following setting:

(setq desktop-restore-frames nil)

        The issue isn’t really specific to the daemon mode: loading a
        desktop file saved from a non-windowed Emacs instance into a
        windowed produces the same error.

        Yes.
