Maybe.  Or, maybe not.  There is nothing in the documentation of 
vm-search-other-frames which says that it should cause this behaviour. 
  Further, the default setting of the variable should work reasonably. 
  So, there is still a problem somewhere.

VM's startup routine is slightly damaged.  There were some 
entanglements that were introduced in 8.0.x or 8.1.x, which weren't 
there in Kyle's versions.  They have been causing all kinds of bad 
behaviour.  The following recent bug report is an example:

   https://bugs.launchpad.net/vm/+bug/502371

To fix these problems, I have been changing the startup sequence which 
worked fine in 7.19, but doesn't work correctly now.  In fact, I had 
been making such changes ever since I started using 8.1-devo and Rob 
was still in charge.  This is not ideal.  We need to find those 
entanglements that broke the original startup sequence and correct 
them.  But it will likely take a long time.

So, I encourage you to get to the bottom of this problem.  I still 
haven't received anything from you via the vm@lists.launchpad.net 
address.  I need to try things out with your settings to see where the 
problems might be.  It occurs to me that if you are spoofing your 
'From' address, launchpad might be rejecting your mail, thinking it is 
spam.  Or, you can send it to my personal address, which is always 
advertised.  (You need to replace 'DOT' with '.')

Cheers,
Uday
