Interesting.

Saving a frame configuration to a register really does a very
low-level saving of the frame, so I suppose it keeps pointers to the
buffers even if they are renamed.

Framesets (or, really, window states) on the other hand, save the
buffer *names*. So if you rename a buffer, as it happens when you
visit another file with the same name, the frameset's window state
loses the reference to the original buffer.

As framesets used in frameset-to-register (C-x r f R) are intended for
in-session use only, I suppose I could hook into uniquify or some
other hook and dynamically alter the in-memory frameset(s), but it
seems quite hackish. I'll have to think about it.
