It is not a bug, because the mode line now takes slightly more than one line, due to its 3D appearance. So Emacs cannot possibly give you an integral number of lines as soon as you divide the frame into more than one window. In addition, the menu bar and the tool bar can take non-integral number of text lines, and the text can use different fonts in the same buffer (try an Info buffer, for example). Given these new display features, it is simply impossible to always give you an integral number of text lines in a frame.
