As I myself prefer Emacs 20 style modeline, I customized the
mode-line face as this long ago;

(custom-set-faces
[...]
 '(mode-line ((t (:inverse-video t)))))

Thus I didn't notice this problem until now.  And with this
setting, having just one line window is good.  I don't want
to use unnecessay two-line guidance window in the above
case.

So, I tried to check the style of the current modeline, and
increase the window height only when released-button style
is used by using a code something like this:

(if (let ((box-attr (face-attribute 'mode-line :box)))
      (and (listp box-attr)
           (eq (plist-get box-attr :style) 'released-button)))
    ...)

But, such a code seems very clumsy.  If possible, I'd like
to avoid installing this kind of code.
