I think %b won't do.  But frame-title-format follows the format of the
mode-line, so you could use :eval to show the buffer name like you
want.  Maybe something like in

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq frame-title-format
      '((:eval (buffer-name
                (if (minibufferp)
                    (window-buffer (minibuffer-selected-window))
                  (current-buffer))))
        user-real-login-name "@" system-name))
#+end_src ?
