Try setting both positionOnScreen and positionIsFrame to False. Also,
start up your client with an X-border width of 0.  Hpwm tries to position
the window so the client area is in the same place it would have been 
if the window had been put up with its original X-border. The client area
is offset from the geometry specified by the width of the X-border.

You might try specifying a sufficiently big maximum size in 
WM_NORMAL_HINTS. What you describe sounds like the default maximum
size computed by hpwm. (I hope I interpreted your statement correctly.)
