Five minutes after sending my question, I happened to stumble on the
(now looking quite obvious - sigh...) solution by inspecting the source
code of "pack()". My problem was:

The solution is simple:
In step 2, do not call pack(), but getPreferredSize(). Then proceed with
3, setting the maximum of the saved window dimension and the one gotten
from step 2.
(My apologies for the unnecessary bandwidth.)
