I believe that this is no longer an issue since Emacs 24.4.  Quoting NEWS:

*** Emacs can now change frame sizes in units of pixels, rather than
text rows or columns.  When maximizing a frame or making it fullscreen,
remaining extra pixels are no longer given to the minibuffer, the rightmost
fringe, or other unusable space, but are distributed among the text
areas of the frame's windows.  If the new option `frame-resize-pixelwise'
is non-nil, all frame size changes happen pixelwise and set the
corresponding size hints for the window manager.

Could you please verify that this fixes your problem by testing on a
more recent version of Emacs?  If I don't hear back from you in a
couple of weeks, I'll assume that this has been resolved and close
this bug.
