This is under MacOS/aqua:

First frame:

((outer-position 0 . 23) (outer-size 675 . 874) (external-border-size
0 . 0) (title-bar-size 0 . 22) (menu-bar-external) (menu-bar-size 0 .
0) (tool-bar-external) (tool-bar-position . top) (tool-bar-size 0 .
0) (internal-border-width . 2))

"New" frame:

((outer-position 690 . 25) (outer-size 675 . 874)
(external-border-size 0 . 0) (title-bar-size 0 . 22)
(menu-bar-external) (menu-bar-size 0 . 0) (tool-bar-external)
(tool-bar-position . top) (tool-bar-size 0 . 0)
(internal-border-width . 2))

So it's two pixels different. Peculiar, eh?
