I've forgotten, what macOS version are you on? macOS 11 combines native toolbars in with the titlebar, so I suspect that the calculations Emacs is doing expect a separate titlebar and toolbar.

I do not think that is necessary. I'm going to go out on a limb here and speculate that the problem lies with the way Emacs is calculating its frame size, not with the OS window manager. The heart of it is, someone can open up Xcode and whip up a demo app with zero code that will function perfectly well with native tabs, it's not functionality that a program needs to implement, so whatever it is with Emacs that is interfering with or overriding that functionality has been added in between.
