Because it never happens to me here, and what other factor can explain
this?

Yes, the Window Manager.

Positioning of frames is a function of the WM. Emacs asks the WM to
position its frames, but the actual positioning is not up to us, at
least not with all the WMs out there.

It's worth trying.
Perhaps also try a build with another toolkit (like Lucid, not GTK),
it could also matter. Although I thought this was supposed to be
solved in Emacs 29.
