That change unfortunately breaks fitting the frame to the buffer (using my
fit-frame.el), horribly.

Can't you please find a different solution to whatever your change was trying to
solve, a solution that has the text actually in the buffer so that it is
measurable for things like fitting, as before?

I don't think there was a real problem that you needed to solve.  How many users
actually copied the text, and how big a problem was their doing so?
