Could you write a function that implements all of your steps so this
could be tested?  It is too many steps to do manually.

I don't know why Hyperbole would be adjusting your frame-width without
you asking.  There is a file, hgnus.el which overloads Gnus functions
and has not been modernized for Emacs 25.  Our intent is that the news
and mail functionality is turned off when you load Hyperbole but we'll
have to look and see if hgnus is getting loaded anyway.  Check by
testing if (featurep 'hgnus) returns t or not.  Even then, it
shouldn't adjust frame-width unless this is something Gnus used to do
itself.
