Current version I'm using is 23.1.1.

As for the test case: It seems to be face related. Customizing only
the default frame alist works fine. But I also have the default face
customized, and that seems to mess things up.
If I set up my .emacs to contain only

(custom-set-variables '(default-frame-alist (quote ((width . 132)
(height . 60) (background-color . "black") (foreground-color .
"white") (cursor-color . "white")))))
(custom-set-faces '(default ((t (:background "black" :foreground
"white" :height 100 :family "outline-lucida console")))))

I see the issue (particularly clear when you do C-x 5 2 - the new
frame will be considerably bigger than the first).

I'll check if there's a more recent build available, and whether or
not that changes anything.
