There's a short Sina blog post that contains some explanations.
There was a《普通话异读词审音表》that was released in 1985. One of the words on the list was 帧:
帧。“装帧”指书画等物的装潢设计。《集韵·映韵》:“帧,张画绘也。”猪孟切,字书据此注为zhèn。声旁是贞,通行的读音是zhēn。《初稿》未审,《定稿》读为zhēn,与贞、侦读音一致。
On the same document you can also find 荨:
荨。《初稿》审订“荨麻”一词,定“荨”读qián,不取xún音。“荨麻”是一种植物,人如果被它刺伤,皮肤就刺痒起疹,成为“荨麻疹”。医生和病人把“荨麻疹”读为xúnmázhěn,与“荨麻”的读音不一致。《定稿》把“荨”字的读音分为文读和白读:文读读qián,如荨麻;白读读xún,如荨麻疹。
Wikisource has 普通话异读词审音表(修订稿)[2016] posted in full plain-text. Along with the original 1985 version.
