According to the manual

     Setting this variable usually causes the next resize operation to
     pass the corresponding size hints to the window manager.  This
     means that this variable should be set only in a user's initial
     file; applications should never bind it temporarily.

So it's possible that Xnest or some other X component refuses to resize
your frame because the size hints were set up inappropriately.

Does it also fail when `frame-resize-pixelwise' is set to t in your
initial file?

Does it fail when you set `frame-resize-pixelwise' to t, request an
integral resize first and a second non-integral one afterwards?
