FWIW, the behavior you describe violates the according description in
the Elisp manual:

 -- Variable: default-frame-alist
     This is an alist specifying default values of frame parameters for
     all Emacs frames--the first frame, and subsequent frames.  When ...

You should get the desired behavior by setting

(add-to-list 'initial-frame-alist '(height . 57))

in your .emacs.  Nevertheless, I'd count this problematic.  Eli, can
this be fixed or should we add something to ~/etc/PROBLEMS ?
