No, of course not.  If it had been so simple to diagnose I would have sent your
trivial recipe.  And I would not have spent time trying to follow what was
happening in the debugger (to no avail).

There is a bug, and there was no such bug before.  I described the symptoms I
see.  I included printouts showing those symptoms: a backtrace showing the call
to `modify-frame-parameters' and the eval of (frame-parameters) showing that the
result does not correspond to the alist passed to `m-f-p'.

How is it possible that `m-f-p' produces parameters that conflict with those it
is passed?  Answer that and perhaps you will find the culprit code change.
