1. emacs -Q
2. M-x customize-variable RET default-frame-alist RET
3. Custom buffer shows:
Default Frame Alist:
Parameter: menu-bar-lines
Value: 1
Parameter: tool-bar-lines
Value: 1
State: CHANGED outside Customize; operating on it here may be
unreliable.
4. Click "State" button, select "Show Saved Lisp Expresion". Custom
buffer now shows:
default-frame-alist: nil
State: CHANGED outside Customize; operating on it here may be
unreliable. (lisp)
The above just shows that Emacs sets a non-STANDARD default for
default-frame-alist. Now comes the bug:
5. Let ~/.emacs and/or custom-file contain no setting of
default-frame-alist. Invoke emacs (i.e. user-init-file is read).
6. Repeat step 2 above, the Custom buffer is again as in step 3.
7. Change the values of menu-bar-lines and tool-bar-lines to 0, then
click button "Save for current session". Custom buffer now shows:
Default Frame Alist:
INS DEL Parameter: menu-bar-lines
Value: 0
INS DEL Parameter: tool-bar-lines
Value: 0
INS
State: SAVED and set.
8. Click button "Erase customizations"
=> Emacs beeps, shows message "Invalid function: (menu-bar-lines . 1)"
If in step 8 I click the button "Save for future sessions" and then
repeat steps 5 and 6, the display is as in step 7, and doing step 8
results in the same error.
If after step 6 I click "Erase customizations" without changing any
value, then the entries are flushed and the state is: STANDARD. But
when I then repeat steps 5 and 6 again, the display is again as in 3.

I have checked a fix into the trunk that changes the way we handle
menu-bar and tool-bar lines. The value of initial- and
default-frame-alist should now be nil, by default, at startup.
