This is not a bug. frame-char-width returns the value of the font's
"average width" attribute, whereas window-text-pixel-size actually
performs the layout of the specified text, simulating its display, and
measures the result. Thus, the values can differ, although for
monospaced fonts they cannot (or should not) differ by too much.
The upshot of this is that you cannot really perform accurate layout
calculations from Lisp, at least not easily. There's no way around
this basic difficulty.
