[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Given it's 100% reproducible on my build, I went ahead with some testing of
configuration options.

It seems related to PGTK. ./configure --with-pgtk has the bug whereas the
version without it does not. Given the warning message about using PGTK
with X11, I assume that this falls under the same umbrella, and that I
should go complain to the package builders.

Let me know if there's anything more to look at.
