It seems that the behavior depends on the window manager.  The
original report was with quartz-wm, the default one for X11 on OS X.
The value of (list (frame-width) (frame-pixel-width)) there was

(80 674) ;; before (set-frame-font "Courier-18")
(79 1162) ;; after (set-frame-font "Courier-18")

but with twm, it becomes

(80 674) ;; before (set-frame-font "Courier-18")
(80 1166) ;; after (set-frame-font "Courier-18")

The latter looks similar to yours.

On my system, (640 16 16 2) before and (1120 28 16 2) after the font
change.

Probably we should wait for reports on other window managers, in case
it is a bug in quartz-wm.
