But we also should try to not break code outside our code base.

With emacs -Q try
(set-frame-parameter (selected-frame) 'internal-border-width 12)

Yes. But I meant that display margins can display images and bitmaps as
well. Or am I missing something?

With the default they fail precisely in this regard.

That they never explain what the "width of a frame" is. The best
explanation I could find is
http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/21.5/html/internals_29.html#SEC275
(in particular section 29.7 "The Displayable Area") but it still lacks
an explanation of frame fringe widths (maybe because XEmacs doesn't have
them).
