(This bug report unfortunately got no response at the time.)

I can reproduce this behaviour in Emacs 28...

... but not this -- terminal 2 displays foo.txt and terminal 1 displays
*scratch*, so it seems like this bit was fixed, at least.

But the first point still stands -- terminal 2 displays *scratch* first,
and then, one second later, switches to *foo* -- presumably there's
something timing out the `M-x' thing?

Does anybody have any insight into what might be happening here?
