Your example works fine for me in 2.0 final, but fails in the way
you outline in 2.0b1. The reason was not immediately apparent to me,
but it seems to be a timing problem of some sort. If I
(trace window-size-parts), which causes a delay to print stuff in
the Listener between the time the window is zoomed and when it is
redisplayed, then it works fine.

Are you indeed using 2.0b1?
