It works for me. Please file a bug an attach a detailed (-vvv) trace
when resizing a slave window doesn't work. It would be good if you could
capture one from the server end ("sshd -ddd") too.

Can you also try to catch this with debugging turned on and attach
the trace to a separate bug?

Yes, this is something of a protocol limitation but there may be
ways to cheat around it. Please file a bug for this too, so it
doesn't get dropped.

Automated multiplexing connections are planned and a couple of people
are looking at it. I didn't implement it at first because I wanted to
make it stable before adding extra features.

I use them daily and have found it to be very stable. Naturally
we will fix any bugs we find and we plan to implement a few more
features when we have time (like the automatic setup of the master
connection).
