Its actually a bug in Tk, IIRC. I had a discussion on #tcl about it.
I don't remember the detail , here's one descrtipn:
:<jenglish> frame/toplevel/labelframes always make a geometry request
whenever you [$w configure] them. If they have a geometry master, it
will see the <Configure> event, restart the geometry propagation
dance, and settle back to where things were when they started
Which version of Pd-extended are you seeing this in?
