The 'y-or-n-p' only serves to tell that 'quit-restore-window' actually
does run this part and the problem is there.  Please make a screenshot
before you type 'y' and a screenshot after you typed it so we can see
what goes on.

BTW, how comes that you didn't get prompted for nearly a month?  Did you
never diff buffers in this time?

In this image I see a frame with two evenly sized windows.  Is there
anything special I'm supposed to see in it?

Whatever it is - if worse comes to worst we can optionally switch off
any such resizing.  It's here to assure that if you

- work with some well laid-out window configuration,

- temporarily show some other buffer in one of its windows, making that
  window small or large for that purpose,

- quit that window,

then the initial configuration should get restored approximately.
Apparently, that misfires in your case but I yet have no idea why.
