You mean that when a 'window-height' action alist entry is provided that
specifies 'fit-window-to-buffer' as 'window-height' value, we should
pass it the value of any 'window-max-height' entry present as MAX-HEIGHT
argument here

         ((functionp height)
	  (ignore-errors (funcall height window))

and probably do the same for all the other arguments of
'fit-window-to-buffer'?
