I discovered this is a known problem yet unfixed for many years:

  https://debbugs.gnu.org/19706
  25.0.50; (+ nil nil -1) in desktop-restore-frameset

with references from

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-12/msg00131.html
  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2017-01/msg00474.html

Although the original bug report was for macOS, the same bug I see is
for GDK on GNU/Linux.  At least, I found a fix for GDK that populates
the 'frames' attribute.  But if on macOS display-monitor-attributes-list
returns no 'frames' attribute, this feature is unavailable on macOS.
