Well, the only other thing it could be

Almost certainly not the *only* other thing it *could* be.

is that I'm doing something like
frame.pack();
Dimension fs = frame.getSize();
Dimension ds = tools.minDimensions(MAX_FRAME_DIMENSIONS, fs)
frame.setSize(ds);
frame.setVisible(true);

but the size of the frame I'm seeing is well below
MAX_FRAME_DIMENSIONS, so this must be just doing the equivalent of

frame.setSize(frame.getSize())

which ought to be a no-op.

                 p.setLayout(new BoxLayout(p, BoxLayout.LINE_AXIS));
                 p.add(Box.createHorizontalGlue());

     }
}

This is the result on my system:
