Asymmetric resizing doesn't size back correctly when any window but a
bottommost one gets resized while enlarging the minibuffer window.  the
idea of asymmetric dragging is that in a configuration like this

 ------------
|            |
|            |
 ------------
|            |
|            |
 ------------
|            |
|            |
 ------------

you drag the lower divider up you first get

 ------------
|            |
|            |
 ------------
|            |
 ------------
|            |
|            |
|            |
 ------------

and then

 ------------
|            |
 ------------
|            |
 ------------
|            |
|            |
|            |
|            |
 ------------

because the idea is that you want to show more in the bottom window.
When you now drag the same divider back you get

 ------------
|            |
 ------------
|            |
|            |
 ------------
|            |
|            |
|            |
 ------------

because the idea is to show more of the middle window and then

 ------------
|            |
 ------------
|            |
|            |
|            |
 ------------
|            |
|            |
 ------------

which is not the initial configuration.
