Still reproduces, yes. As long as I don't hurry too much to type 'C-x b 
file-name RET' too early, before the frame has managed to resize and 
redisplay fully the first time.

So if I wait for it, and then use 'C-x b' (with Ido's support for 
recentf), then I also can trigger the problem.

Oh, here's another description of the bug: the frame's title bar changes 
(to display the visited file name), but the buffer is blank for a little 
while.

Yes, that one.
