I cloned the git master branch and compiled Emacs (version says it's
25.0.50.1) and still see the same problem.

After Eli's comments, it's now clear that the problem is slightly
different than what I initially thought, though. The issue is not with
font size changes in general, because the frame is usually adjusted to
match. The problem arises when a font size change takes place *without*
the frame changing its size accordingly. In this case, the number of
columns on a frame is changed, but this is not reflected in the return
value of `window-total-width`.

This happened in my case because I ran the test on a maximised Emacs
frame, which wasn't adjusted. (Though I don't know whether that's due to
Emacs not resizing its frame or due to the window manager preventing
it.)

Here are the results from the calls to `window--dump-frame` (done on
Emacs 25.0.50.1):
