The dframe entries are the problem, I think: special-event-map is
usually only used for internal purposes.  It's not designed for
packages, nor for users.

I'm not sure what dframe does with those things: AFAICT it binds them to
functions that introduce just the kind of hook you asked for (but oddly
using buffer-local hooks rather than frame-local hooks).  Of the three
such hooks it installs, only the delete-frame one is used (by
speedbar).  And it turns out that speedbar could/should use
delete-frame-functions instead anyway.

So I see two solutions to your problem:
1- declare dframe's code as a bug.
2- use (require 'dframe) and then use dframe-make-frame-visible-function.
