The default width of an Emacs window displayed by "emacs -Q" is 80
columns. And that is the width of a window I see when I repeat Drew's
recipe and get the same error signaled as in his report.

I don't really know what palette.el is doing, but it could be that it
doesn't let the Emacs frame time to resize itself before splitting the
window.
In any case, I once again ask the question: why should we assume it's
a bug in Emacs, and not first try looking into what palette.el does?

Actually, adding a (sit-for 0) might be all that's needed, if this is
the problem (which I'm not at all sure).
