I can reproduce this problem on Macos, but not in Debian.
I had a brief look at
commit f26a027d6b8e0b894d5d28c446643d411b376ea9
Author: pillule <pillule@riseup.net>
Commit: Martin Rudalics <rudalics@gmx.at>
Fix ediff3 layouts with window-combination-resize non-nil (Bug#49277)
since that's a recent patch in this area, but it's not immediately clear
why this change should make a difference on Macos, but not Debian. (I
haven't confirmed that this change is the culprit, mind.)
Perhaps Alan has some insight here; added to the CCs.
