I thought it was clear from the screenshot attached in the first mail.
The point value in the output of "C-x =" indicates that the cursor is
between the initial message of the *scratch* buffer and the yanked
text.

(length ";; This buffer is for notes you don't want to save, and for Lisp evaluation.
;; If you want to create a file, visit that file with C-x C-f,
;; then enter the text in that file's own buffer.
")
=> 190

The cursor appears.  But the cursor at the old position is not
cleared.  See the attached screenshot.

I could reproduce it without yank.

1. Create a file named a.el with the following contents:

  (global-set-key "a" (string #x3042))	; HIRAGANA LETTER A

2. $ emacs -Q -D -l a.el &
3. Type "a" to insert a Japanese character.
4. Type "C-p" to move the cursor upward.

Display is updated correctly until Step 3.  But Step 4 does not change
the display from the previous one.

As for expose events, I suspect the current matrices get corrupted,
because the result of git bisect implies that it has something to do
with adjustment of glyph matrices triggered by font loading.
