You mean calling `fit-window-to-buffer' in `temp-buffer-show-hook' explicitly
instead of using an action alist `(window-height . fit-window-to-buffer)'?

But the problem will still remain, and to solve it we need to fill the buffer
after displaying that would be possible only after changing the order of calls
in `with-output-to-temp-buffer' from

       (prog1 (progn ,@body)
         (internal-temp-output-buffer-show ,buf))

to

       (progn
         (internal-temp-output-buffer-show ,buf)
         (progn ,@body)
