Dragging the frame by dragging the border shouldn't have happened in the
first place.  Please try again with:


(custom-set-faces
 '(internal-border ((t (:background "red")))))

(defun open-test (buffer)
  (display-buffer-in-child-frame
   buffer '((child-frame-parameters
             . ((width . 40)
                (height . 10)
                (top . 50)
                (left . 50)
        (minibuffer . nil)
        (border-width . 0)
        (internal-border-width . 10)
        (drag-internal-border . t)
        (drag-with-mode-line . t)
                )))))

(setq-local test-buffer (get-buffer-create "*test child-frame*"))
(setq-local test-frame (window-frame (open-test test-buffer)))
