Using CVS Emacs on Windows XP, evaluate the below form in a frame that
is _not_ currently 60 columns wide by 20 rows high. The values in the
resulting list are equal, but they should not be.
(let ((origwidth (frame-pixel-width (selected-frame))))
(modify-frame-parameters nil '((width . 60) (height . 20)))
;;(sit-for 0)
(list origwidth (frame-pixel-width (selected-frame))))
If you uncomment the call to sit-for, the values in the resulting list
are different (as they should be).
It appears that the second call to frame-pixel-width is unaware of the
change to the width of the frame made by modify-frame-parameters.
The same problem happens with frame-pixel-height. I don't know if this
is unique to Windows, since I don't have access to a Linux box right now.

We could add something like
This is updated by redisplay, when it runs to completion.
Simply modifying a frame parameter does not update this value.
to the doc-string just as we do with `window-end'.
