Yes -- because it seems the emacs folk think that:

src/frame.c:x_figure_window_size()

... is a really good thing to do.  That's the problem -- somewhere in that
monstrosity of a function is the reason why the window size is reset.  But
that's as far as I dare dig into emacs' source code.   Time to go and ask
the emacs' people why they changed the behaviour between 22.x and 23.x, and
what you, as a dedicated and loving user of emacs, can possibly do about it.

Nothing FVWM can do to help you.
