When using emacs23 (the most recent released version), it seems to get the size wrong. Probably this is some race condition or something that maybe is hidden in usual reparenting window managers? I've heard that it occasionally comes up when using xmonad?

A stupid workaround would be to jitter the size of the window 100ms or so after attaching, but that's kind of lame and flaky. Better would be to find some elisp code and add a note somewhere that you should insert it into your `.emacs`.

Alternatively, wait for emacs24, whenever that will come around.
