I noticed this problem, and fixed it some time ago.  Unfortunately, it was
sufficiently long ago that I don't remember exactly which change did the
trick.  However, I believe it was the following in src/screen.c :

% diff screen.c screen.c.old
252,253c252,253
<     size_hints.base_width = 2*xs->in_border;
<     size_hints.base_height = 2*xs->in_border;
---
>     size_hints.base_width = 0;
>     size_hints.base_height = 0;


Let me know if this doesn't do it, and I'll look further.
