Recently I have tried to make the distinction between size and
configuration changes more precise.  Please have a look at the Elisp
manual.  The scenario you describe above does not change the
configuration of any of the involved frames but only their sizes.

Indeed: For the given scenario you have to add a function to
‘window-size-change-functions’.
