There is a chance this could be due to your window manager. I've found
some window managers will over-ride what emacs is trying to do. For
example, for ages everytime I opened speedbar, the frame would be
exactly the same size as my normal frame, despite the speedbar frame
attributes being set to create a narrow high frame. I eventually
worked out this was due to my window manager. 

If your window manager has some setting like "click to focus" or
"click to raise and focus" its possible this is over-riding what emacs
itself is trying to do.
