That's what I'm wondering about.

So w32-send-sys-command is handled differently from setting the
fullscreen frame parameter to maximized?  Does this mean the OP could
have used `set-frame-parameter' and it would have worked in his sense?

But when x_set_window_size tells Windows that it wants to resize the
frame, it stumbles into some away-defined code.

We do our own toolbar wrapping.  But the menubar is wrapped by Windows.
