Basically, this problem can be resolved by making the window
fixed-height which would be needed anyway, for example, when resizing
the frame.

But the behavior you observe might hint at a more fundamental problem
with minibuffer resizing.  Can you produce it with (split-window nil -1)
for example?  Here the window goes back to a height of one when the echo
area is temporarily enlarged and goes back to one line.
