Calling the Lisp debugger in some sensitive place during creating a
frame is known to cause this.  If you can track this down and see
why we increment the reference count of the new frame where we
shouldn't, or declare the frame "official" too soon, perhaps this can
be fixed.  But it's a low-priority issue, because this assertion
disappears in an optimized binary anyway.  The main problem to tackle
is why do you get a Lisp error in this scenario -- that's the real
problem to fix.
