window-body-height reports the height of the window's body in units of
canonical character height:

  If PIXELWISE is nil, return the largest integer smaller than WINDOW’s
  pixel height divided by the character height of WINDOW’s frame.
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Thus, window-body-height is by design insensitive to factors like
non-default fonts, line-spacing, etc.

Then the bug is in vterm.el: it should use other APIs to get the
dimensions in terms of actual number of lines in the window.  The
function window-body-height works as intended.

Thanks.
