I didn't expect it to be but thanks for confirming.

Always keep in mind that Emacs has no idea about whether and how a
window has been iconified or focused.  It just waits for the
corresponding information from the window manager, believes what the
latter tells and acts (redrawing a frame, for example) accordingly.
