Here, I'll give a simple example. Let's say there's a site that uses cookies to track logins. For example, hacker news. Now, hacker news does have the X-Frame-Option Deny, but let's assume it doesn't.
So to figure out my hacker news username, all you have to do now is create an iframe with hacker news, and then getPixel on the area of the frame that contains usernames, run some trivial OCR, and done.
Now, this issue is even more serious in other instances. For example, google talk widgets are embedded by iframes I believe.
In both these cases, a fresh rendering would still have the inappropriate material due to cookies. If cookies aren't sent, e.g. you do a fresh render in a private tab, it would still have security concerns for anything that displays different, sometimes private, content based on ip address.
For an example of that, you could render "private.internal.company.localsite" in an iframe and if a visitor from that company visited, even a cookie-less load would probably show private data due to the internal site relying on ip/nat controls.
On an information only webpage (no user interactions) there's no need to have the X-Frame-Options to remain secure. If there's a way to access the data in that frame suddenly, that changes the necessity of that header.
