I believe you because I didn't try with those dimensions ;-)
The OP started by saying that the frame should be _wider_ than 80
columns, and my assertion above should have been "the frame width is
not relevant".

Not sure what you mean by that.  In my experiments, the margin starts
at 3 columns, and stays at 3 columns.  There's no adjustment.

Because Emacs scrolls the frame in the other direction.
