I think it is related to the text frame inset. When a frame is
embedded, it is 'treated as text'. Normally text does not go to the
absolute edge of the frame, but has a small inset. Thus a frame that
is the exact same width as the enclosing master frame will not fit.
Thus any embedded frame needs to be a maximum width (or height) equal
to the master frame size - 2 * inset.

A local frame which overlays the master frame can be any width,
including wider than the master frame.
