This may be a Motif bug---with a GTK build on GNU/Linux and the .emacs
you supplied, the minibuffer frame is sized using the larger font.  I
don't have lots of time to work on this right now, so it would be
helpful if you could experiment different build configurations, and see
what makes the bug appear/disappear.  Thanks.
