Thank you, this is my final clue that this discussion goes nowhere, as
it happens so frequently with you.

I don't see where this resizing is done (by grepping Lisp sources), so I
suppose it is done in C.

In any case, it seems to have no effect, AFAICT, on a standalone
minibuffer frame (i.e., on an echo area in such a frame).  The doc says
nothing about this..
