I can only speculate.  Jan changed the semantics in 2009 so the previous
'fullscreen' became 'maximized' or 'fullboth' - I don't remember which.
For compatibility sake, he kept 'fullscreen' around since people might
have had (and maybe still have) it in their init files.  It's no more
documented to avoid that people start using it.

In either case 'fullscreen' still is a valid substitute for 'fullboth'.
Try with

(set-frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen 'fullscreen)
