I am debian squeeze running Emacs from trunk (bzr version is visible in
the attached screenshot). Emacs is launched like this:

   ~/src/emacs/trunk/src/emacs  --debug-init -Q

`ediff-grab-mouse' is at it's default value of t.

I am attaching a screenshot of my desktop.  

I don't know whether the diff file has any bearing on the behaviour.
The register.el on display is the one obtained by applying the
bug12389.diff.

This bug is bit of an annoyance.  I am happy you are lookng in to it.
