Yes. There was no problem after #16470 was fixed. Nor was there a
problem in the last pretest, 24.3.93. The problem appeared after I
installed 24.3.94.

Yes, there is only one window and one frame. Running with -Q.

After (set-fringe-mode '(0 . 2)), executing (window--dump-frame) puts
the following contents into *window-frame-dump*:

frame pixel: 600 x 494   cols/lines: 86 x 35   units: 7 x 14
