You really should send a patch for that bug.  If noone objects I'll
apply it in a few days.  Few people here build on OS X and still fewer
write Applescripts.

You will need them to be able to translate from the outer frame pixel
width/height to the native width/height.  It's the latter you specify in
the width/height parameters.  So you have to subtract the width of the
external border and the title bar from the outer width/height to get the
desired native width/height.
