With 'frame-resize-pixelwise' non-nil?

Why should removing the menu bar maximize the frame?  If anything, I'd
expect the opposite.

The title bar there looks normal to me, not doubled.  And how would
you know in the first place that the title bar was not redrawn?

This must be a misunderstanding.  Among others, it's one purpose of
'frame-resize-pixelwise' _non-nil_ to make the frame occupy all the
space.
