Yes, this works as intended, see again the function
use-fancy-splash-screens-p, which tests the frame size against the
size of the image displayed in the fancy splash screen.

The contents are very similar, but not identical. Feel free to ask
this question on emacs-devel@gnu.org, though: perhaps there's a place
for improvement there.

Thanks.
