It moves the frame to the left display border, and resizes it to
fullheight and half-width (so you can type Win+right into another
application and have the apps use the full screen side by side).

Because `frame-parameter' just told us that the frame wasn't
full-anything, so setting it again to fullscreen = nil shouldn't
change it, should it? Or, alternatively, restoring the frame to its
previous size is useful, but then I would expect that, after Win+left,
(frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen) => fullheight

Which is what I said:
