Issue 151: XMonad needs to spot resize events in non-floating windows
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=151

Comment #1 by SpencerJanssen:
When you change the font in the tiled window, does it actually change 
size?  If so,
xterm is in violation of the ICCCM, technically making it xterm's bug 
and not ours
:).  However, we may be able to handle the illegal size change more gracefully.

Otherwise, if the application is merely requesting a resize (but does 
not actually do
it!), xmonad is exhibiting the intended behavior.  Tiled window 
positions are
dictated by the active layout algorithm, nothing else.  Again, in this 
case I'd say
the bug is still xterm's, applications can not assume that their resize 
requests will
be honored by the window manager.

Have you checked how urxvt (or any other terminal, for that matter) 
behaves?  We tend
to recommend against xterm because of various little annoyances it has 
when used in a
tiling WM.
