Did you use the same recipe I gave in my OP, aside from the space?  With
that and the space I still get the "empty" line, so as you say there
must be some other difference.  When I do emacs -Q and eval
(frame-parameters), I get this:

((parent-id . 25170646)

 (display . ":0")
 (visibility . t)
 (icon-name)

 (left . 0)

 (buffer-list #<buffer *scratch*> #<buffer  *Minibuf-1*> #<buffer *Help*>)
 (unsplittable)
 (minibuffer . #<window 4 on  *Minibuf-0*>)
 (modeline . t)

Do you have different values for relevant parameters (e.g. font)?
