It looks like the problem is in fit-frame-to-buffer: it is not
prepared to handle after-string at the end of the prompt.
Specifically, the fact that the 2nd and the 3rd args of the call to
window-text-pixel-size are both t causes the function to return the
value which doesn't account for the after-string.
