The latter sounds very reasonable: why use some special code to give
GNU Emacs the desired frame size and position when there are the *-
frame-alists?

If there are *no* particular initial-frame-alist settings, then the
default-frame-alist settings (also) apply for the first or initial
frame.

Launching GNU Emacs with -Q (i.e. not loading system and user init
files) allows you to examine the problem – and find and describe a
possible bug. But beware: in windowing systems' environments there
can be settings in (X11) resource or (MS) registry files that impose
on their clients some behaviour (position, size) when nothing else is
given ...
