Also, this code will still do the right thing if there actually is a
selected frame.

Moving the selected frame to be per-thread would also help here.
But I am going to guess that this is tricky, for the same reasons that
making the regcache per-thread is tricky.

I didn't run into this, but I have seen other weird things, like errors
from libpthread_db.  I haven't investigated yet.
