Thank you for the suggestion.  I attempted it (that is, added (user-size
. t) to the ‘setq’ expression before creating a new frame), but it did
not change the result (new frame is small).

Based on what Eli Zaretskii wrote in another reply, it appears that the
problem has been reported already (bug #67654).  I had searched through
this mailing list archives (Emacs help) before asking here about the
problem, but had not searched through the mailing list archives for
Emacs bugs (because I was assuming that it must have been my error
because it is such a large, reproducible problem).
