Verified on current ESR, with the old Browser Toolbox highlighter implementation. The issue already happens there, and is even worse because you can't recover from it. Whereas on current central, if you switch back to the original browser.xhtml frame, you can interact with the browser again.
So definitely an old issue. This might get fixed automatically when we start treating frame switching as target switching (Bug 1608054). Right now frame switching is a very special case which is not well tested. We probably don't cleanup the highlighter state when switching to frame.
But we might also attempt to fix it earlier, so not strictly blocking this on Bug 1608054.
