I finally had time to apply your patch and give it a whirl.  Initial
tests together with my patched dired-pop-to-buffer indicate it DTRT,
i.e., both with and without a header line I can shrink the frame and
invoke dired-pop-to-buffer without signalling an error until only one
dired line is displayable: then shrinking is no longer possible and
dired-pop-to-buffer shows one file (also with signalling an error).
I'll keep using it, maybe I'll hit a corner case, but it seems ok.
