Why? Emacs doesn't promise to have the last line visible even now, if
the window has variable size fonts. What we currently do promise
(IIUC) is to have each window's height an integral multiple of the
default face's height. But if the window shows no characters with the
default face, that contract is irrelevant anyway.

See above: you cannot guarantee that.

Do we really need such a change? What damage could be caused by
accepting a window size in integral lines, but producing a window that
is slightly larger or smaller? Again, this happens today already as
long as non-default faces are displayed in the window.

Doesn't pos-visible-in-window-p fit the bill already?
