If `set-frame-font' were involved, then it has a `keep-size' argument
which, when set, should keep the frame's pixel size constant.  But I
nowhere see `set-frame-font' getting called with that argument non-nil.

I tried with Gtk and the numbers of lines/columns remain unaltered.  On
Windows I lose one line because the tool bar gets larger by one pixel.

Indeed.  This issue needs clarification too.
