Thanks, that was an interesting hint. I'll try that maybe tomorrow.

I found something interesting too. I forgot to call window-list on the
posframe in a way that it includes mini-windows. When I fix that
I see that the GUI posframe has 1 window, but the tty posframe has 2,
one of which is a mini-window.

Whatever the effect of that is overall, it explains why the posframes
and the Corfu frames are consistently 1 line too tall. Nice!
