If I split in 2 I get window-size 37.  If I remove fringes I get 40.
If I remove scrollbars, I get frame-size 83, and window-size 41.
So one character is lost somewhere.

This is a mess, and needs clearing up.  I suspect differences between ports exist.
Maybe the best is to define how things ought to be and then fix the ports, rather than look at the current implementation(s).
