Metacity is trying to save the "logical size" of the window. 
So e.g. if you have an 80x24 terminal, metacity wants to save restore
80x24, rather than a pixel measurement. That way if you change your
font size you don't suddenly get total weirdness.

Something is going wrong. ;-) 

Look at METACITY_VERBOSE=1 METACITY_USE_LOGFILE=1 output, there may be
a hint in there.
