The behaviour in Emacs 27 is chaotic. Sometimes a minibuffer moves with a frame switch, sometimes it doesn't.
I wouldn't write it is "chaotic". The behavior you consider "chaotic" is well-defined, and has been there since Emacs 21 at least: the minibuffer moves from frame F1 to frame F2 if and only if the minibuffer is active on frame F1 and a recursive minibuffer is entered on frame F2. There are other possible behaviors of course, but IMO the current one is a reasonable one.
Also, how often do people actually select minibuffer-only frames? Unless I'm missing something, it seems a rather strange thing to want to do.
There are at least two Emacs users on this list who use minibuffer-only frames: Stefan and Drew. I'm also curious why they do this, and would be interested if they could explain what the benefit of doing this is.
