I've now traced this behavior back to this

    Update frame title when redisplay scrolls selected window

    * src/xdisp.c (redisplay_window): Reconsider the frame's title
    when the mode-line of the frame's selected window needs to be
    updated.

In fact, removing the

      x_consider_frame_title (w->frame);

call from redisplay_window fixes both bugs here.

This a different problem preceding the one I described.
