Evidence in favor of that suggestion may be the following observations:
I can reliably reproduce the problematic display (on xfwm4-4.14.1 with
GTK+ 3.24.17) with the first invocation below, but not with the second
invocation:

$ emacs-master -Q --eval "(customize-set-variable 'default-frame-alist '((cursor-color . \"red3\") (width . 80) (height . 32)))"

$ emacs-master -Q --eval "(progn (sleep-for .1) (customize-set-variable 'default-frame-alist '((cursor-color . \"red3\") (width . 80) (height . 32))))"

Yet I can also reproduce the display problem with the following
invocation:

$ emacs-master -Q --eval "(progn (sit-for .1) (customize-set-variable 'default-frame-alist '((cursor-color . \"red3\") (width . 80) (height . 32))))"
