I should have said what the symptom of the malfunction is that, on
Windows, when you evaluate this Elisp code:

        (make-frame '((top . -1) (left . -1)))

the new frame will not be positioned with its bottom-right corner in the
bottom-right of the display.

My patch fixes this, even in the case where the use configures
non-standard vertical or horizontal frame border sizes.

Sorry for the confusion.
