Because the pixel width of W is less than its frame's column width.
The division performed window_body_width is truncating, i.e:

  24 / 25 = 0

and I suspect the actual width being divded at that point is less than
w->pixel_width, since that window had fringes.

I did say that this happened while resizing the window.  It was being
displayed in an ediff-created frame.
