Thanks; that was quick.

The arg passed to `make-frame' was t.

Now perhaps you will say that it is correct that it substitutes a window for t
in the actual value used.  I can't speak to that (not documented AFAICT).

But the bug here is that there is (was) no minibuffer visible, even though
(minibuffer . t) was included in the parameters passed to `make-frame'.

Well two things were broken visibly: the frame size and lack of visible
minibuffer.  Whether those are both due to the same underlying cause, I don't
know.

I guess you've understood this, and that everything has now been fixed.  If
there is still some confusion about the symptoms, please let me know.
