Frame positioning per se is broken with the mutter window manager.
AFACICT this does not affect 'set-frame-size-and-position' alone but
also 'set-frame-position' and setting the 'left' and 'top' frame
parameters.  Since frame positioning with PGTK Wayland is inhibited
anyway, it will hardly be fixable on X either.
