When I do:

    $ emacs -Q -l frame.el

where frame.el consists of the forms:

    (defface item-frame
      '((((class color))
         (:family "DejaVu Sans Mono"
          :height 151)))
      "Face for frame to demonstrate the issue.")

    (progn
      (set-frame-font (face-font 'item-frame))
      (set-frame-width nil 102)
      (set-frame-position nil
                          (/ (- (display-pixel-width) (frame-pixel-width)) 2)
                          (cdr (frame-position))))

and then, in the resulting Emacs instance, do:

    M-: (frame-width) RET

I get: 80.

However, the expected result is 102, because the form
(set-frame-width nil 102) above sets the frame width to 102.

I get the expected value of 102 if I remove the call to
set-frame-position. This is unexpected, because whether
set-frame-position is called should not influence the frame width.

When I evaluate the form (set-frame-width nil 102) in the resulting
Emacs instance, the frame width is set to 102 as expected.

Thank you for looking into this!

All the best,
Markus
