* bug#24085: 25.1.50; `make-frame' given `top' param creates frame with ~10x smaller `top'

emacs -Q

In *scratch*, type and evaluate:

(make-frame '((name . "AAA")
              (left . 800) (top . 600)
              (user-position . t)))

In the new frame, do `M-: (frame-parameters)'.  You see something like
this:

((tool-bar-position . top) (parent-id) (explicit-name . t)
 (display . "w32") (visibility . t) (icon-name) (window-id . "265868")
 (top . 73) (left . 800) (buried-buffer-list)
 ^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^
 (buffer-list #<buffer *scratch*> #<buffer  *Minibuf-1*>)
 (unsplittable) ...)

And that new frame is indeed about 73 pixels from the top screen edge,
and about 800 pixels from the left screen edge.

What am I missing?  The Elisp manual, node `Position Parameters' seems
to say that `top' is just like `left'.  The resulting `left' value is
exactly what was prescribed to `make-frame', but the resulting `top'
value is 73 instead of the prescribed 600.

But I see about the same behavior in Emacs 23 and 22, so this is
apparently not new.  Am I misunderstanding the doc description?

FWIW, Emacs 20 behaves just like the doc says (as I understand it): the
resulting `top' value is exactly what you provide to `make-frame', and
the frame is actually positioned with its top at that position (not at
a top location that is ~10x smaller).
