I have some frames that are just small increments from previous frames and, as such, I do not wish them to have a distinct navigation circle. I've been able to achieve this by using the method described in this answer, which consists of:

\makeatletter
    \let\beamer@writeslidentry@miniframeson=\beamer@writeslidentry
    \def\beamer@writeslidentry@miniframesoff{%
        \expandafter\beamer@ifempty\expandafter{\beamer@framestartpage}{}% does not happen normally
        {%else
            % removed \addtocontents commands
            \clearpage\beamer@notesactions%
        }
    }
    \newcommand*{\miniframeson}{\let\beamer@writeslidentry=\beamer@writeslidentry@miniframeson}
    \newcommand*{\miniframesoff}{\let\beamer@writeslidentry=\beamer@writeslidentry@miniframesoff}
    \beamer@compresstrue
\makeatother

However, by surpressing the navigation circle in those incremental frames, now the corresponding slides have no highlighted navigation bullet, like this:enter image description here

Instead of the usual case (i.e., for non-surpressed navigation circles), which is like this:enter image description here

Now, since these incremental frames for which I'm surpressing the navigation bullets are essentially the same, I would like the navigation bullet associated to the first frame (of the "incremental group") to remain highlighted.

Is there a way to achieve this directly?

Or, alternatively, is there a way to highlight a specific navigation circle?

This can be observed on the MWE, on slides title 4 and title 5 (exemplified here only on 4): enter image description here

My idea was to have both slides title 4 and 5 highlight the first navigation circle of section 2, like this:
