Thanks, but I think we still need more info to find what caused this,
as most of that commit is for non-toolkit builds.

Can you put a breakpoint in change_frame_size_1, on line 5564:

  SET_FRAME_COLS (f, new_cols); <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
  FRAME_LINES (f) = new_lines;
  FRAME_TEXT_WIDTH (f) = new_text_width;

and see if that breakpoint breaks when you type "C-x 2" in *scratch*?
If it does break, can you show the values of these:

  new_text_width
  FRAME_TEXT_WIDTH (f)
  new_root_width
  old_root_width
  FRAME_TEXT_TO_PIXEL_WIDTH (f, new_text_width)
  FRAME_INTERNAL_BORDER_WIDTH (f)
