Apparently, if a frameset is established with a
Content-type:application/xhtml+xml header, the resulting page in not able to see the frames named in the frameset;
rather than targeting the named frame, a new tab (or window, depending on the browser setup) is used. Changing to Content-type:text/html header makes frames work properly.

Demo of the aberrant behaviour is at :

Demo of the expected behaviour is at:
  http://tc17.com/cgi-bin/FirefoxBugs/frameset-text.pl
