Problem resolved by support team from Microsoft Developer Support for Internet Explorer.

The frame/dialog targeting problem described above is the result of a change introduced with installation of IE11 on a computer, affecting behavior of User Account Control: Use Admin Approval Mode for the built-in Administrator account setting within local security policy.

This setting can be configured using the Local Security Policy snap-in, in Local Policies / Security Options branch, under Policy item called: "User Account Control: Use Admin Approval Mode for the built-in Administrator account".

In simple terms, the steps needed to correct the problem are:

Before installation of IE11 - no need to do anything on any Windows or IE version to get frame targeting to work under default Admin. It works even with "User Account Control: Use Admin Approval Mode ..." set to Disabled.
 
After installation of IE11  - need to Enable "User Account Control: Use Admin Approval Mode for the built-in Administrator account" to get frame/dialog targeting to work for default Admin.

Confirmed the solution works with IE11 on Windows 2012R2 as well as Windows 7 SPK1, the adjustment takes effect after a restart. There is no need to make any changes to HTML pages.
