That's true and documented somewhere in the vnc documentation: Every
geometry is respected but silendly rounded upwards to a proper power of 2.
This is due to internal optimalization.

This is because the compressions need a nice number of squares of some size
to not have to deal with half squares.

I was in the impression the X size was silently rounded upwards to multiples
of 8 in both ways but you just show me the number I had in mind was wrong,
at least in the y direction.
