[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Curiouser and curiouser.

With no init.el or early-init.el:

   emacs --eval "(let ((default-frame-alist '((left . 1000))))
(make-frame-command))"

works (it creates an additional frame, displaced to the right).

   emacs --eval "(let ((default-frame-alist '((left . (- 0)))))
(make-frame-command))"

lisp.h:1231: Emacs fatal error: assertion failed: FIXNUMP (a)

Or, equivalently,

  emacs -Q --no-site-file

  M-: (let ((default-frame-alist '((left . (- 0))))) (make-frame-command))
<RET>

so the bit about early-init.el seems like a red herring.
