Yup! Seems to help.

This is one additional piece of misbehavior (perhaps unrelated) that 
really caught my eye during these tests:

When I evaluate

  (set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 110 :family "InconsolataLGC")

(this variation of the font doesn't have the original problem), the 
height of the window shrinks, unless the window is maximized.

If I evaluate it multiple times, the height shrinks every time I do that 
(stopping at height 5, when even the minibuffer becomes inaccessible).

If I evaluate

  (set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 110 :family "Inconsolata_dz")

(with your fix applied), it only shrinks twice (from 33 to 29 to 27, as 
reported by (window-height)). And then stops shrinking on subsequent 
attempts.

Doing the same with InconsolataLGC on the latter build still makes it 
shrink indefinitely.
