Looks like I was premature. I just switched to emacs from Vista (a
3270 terminal emulator; probably the reason Scroll Lock is on to begin
with) and it hit the error again.
Given that when I tested it this morning (explicitly
enabling/disabling Scroll Lock via the keyboard) things were working,
it may be specifically related to Scroll Lock being enabled
programmatically. It may also be specific to my use case (i.e. using
Cygwin's X server via SSH tunnelling).
I'll try to do some tests next Monday.
