In the meantime, I've implemented a workaround, based on the following
idea:

  (add-hook 'org-remember-mode-hook 'delete-other-windows)
  (defadvice org-remember-finalize (after delete-frame-at-end activate)
    "Delete frame at remember finalization"
    (delete-frame))
  (defadvice org-remember-kill (after delete-frame-at-end activate)
    "Delete frame at remember abort"
    (delete-frame))

It works properly, but it assumes that org-remember is invoked only
externally via org-protocol (i.e. if I invoke org-remember by hand I
risk my frame).

So I've conceived the following horror to constraint the effect to
org-protocol invocation (yes, with a serious race condition involved):

  (add-hook 'org-remember-mode-hook 'delete-other-windows)
  (setq my-org-protocol-flag nil)
  (defadvice org-remember-finalize (after delete-frame-at-end activate)
    "Delete frame at remember finalization"
    (progn
      (if my-org-protocol-flag (delete-frame))
      (setq my-org-protocol-flag nil)))
  (defadvice org-remember-kill (after delete-frame-at-end activate)
    "Delete frame at remember abort"
    (progn
      (if my-org-protocol-flag (delete-frame))
      (setq my-org-protocol-flag nil)))
  (defadvice org-protocol-remember (before set-org-protocol-flag activate)
    (setq my-org-protocol-flag t))

Any suggestions on how to achieve the same result in a more proper way
will be appreciated ...

Cheers.
