    Even when I set the "user-position" frame parameter, I still cannot
    move the frame, and have it "stay" at the new position. All the
    following fail in the same manner:

      (modify-frame-parameters (selected-frame)
			       '((top . 10)
				 (left . 100)
				 (user-position . t)))

      (modify-frame-parameters (selected-frame)
			       '((top . 10)
				 (left . 100)
				 (user-position . nil)))

      (set-frame-position (selected-frame) 10 100)

    Shouldn't one of them work?

Yes, something here must be a bug.
