Thanks.

I don't see anything strange here, the 1-pixel difference shouldn't
have caused what you see.

Martin, any suggestions how to dig into this further?

I see no bug here: both functions return the height of the window
including the mode line, so the value sounds correct if you have 33
lines of text in that window.
