It isn't a bug, just a misunderstanding of the meaning of "resize". 
There is a "resizable" property which, when set to false, removes the 
size box from the lower left corner of the window and disables the 
user's ability to drag the window out to a different size. It does not 
prevent a script from resizing the window, nor does it prevent the 
automatic engine behavior that changes the window to account for other 
screen elements such as the dock or the menu bar. "Resize" simply refers 
to whether or not the end user can adjust the window.

A while back, MetaCard users were happy to see the engine automatically 
account for screen elements. Before that was implemented, there was loud 
wailing and gnashing of teeth because a window could overlap the dock, 
and if the stack happened to position itself under the Macintosh menu 
bar, the user could not even drag the window out of the way at all. So 
developers requested automatic stack positioning so that we wouldn't 
have to worry that large stacks would suddenly become unreachable.

To overcome the automatic behavior, you'll need to calculate the correct 
stack size yourself and set it on preOpenStack. For most other stacks, 
not allowing the window to tuck itself under the Macintosh menu bar is 
the desired behavior.
