I hadn't tested how many characters could be displayed in a line - I was trusting the geometry displayed by the window manager when resized. So the issue appears to be a display problem: "emacs -geometry 80x77" creates a frame that is 80x77, but when resizing, the reported sizes are off-by-one. I've reproduced that behavior on current jessie Gnome 3 and on Enlightenment 0.18 - so it seems independent of window manager. emacs23 from wheezy does not have this behavior - the geometry seen by my window manager matches the number of characters I can display on one line.
