I tested again running GNU Emacs 24.3.50 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+
Version 3.8.8) of 2014-02-19 Repository revision: 116484

With the recipe above I no longer see the bug. The <=> handle now never
seems to be displayed much beyond the vertical line, and it seems I can
always click and drag it.

Regardless of where the vertical line is, it is now almost impossible to
get the <=> handle to appear at all when approaching the vertical line
from the left -- I get it once in about fifty attempts. When approaching
the vertical line from the right, the <=> handle appears normally (and
it now appears normally when the vertical line is all the way to the
left as well).
