Wow, that's it, thanks! I had not realised that (next-frame) is the
wrong way to choose a frame, because it looks for frames in the same
terminal!
I was looking for a function that gives me the same frame that C-x 5 o
switches to.

Yes, I only tried those things when on the same machine, but now the
reason looks obvious to me: I was just deleting the frame I was using,
because (next-frame) returns that, so there is no bug here.

Because I want a real terminal, not a shell buffer, and I do not want to
use a terminal emulator inside Emacs. But this is out of scope.
Ok, so now the problem reduces to:
- find a simple recipe for deleting all GUI frames from a terminal frame
- add this recipe to the error message mentioned at the start of this
bug report
Thanks so far
