I had the same problem a long time ago with a much earlier version of 
the MC engine. No one responded to my questions about it on the mailing 
list, so it must be rare. This was a year or two ago. I solved the 
problem on my own by setting the screen resolution to the one that 
didn't work, setting the stack size while I was there, and saving the 
stack while in that same resolution. After that, opening the stack at 
any screen resolution seemed to preserve the size no matter what.

I don't know if this will work in all cases though. It is probably safer 
to just set the desired size in a preOpenStack handler, as others have 
suggested.
