Bug 71343 has nothing to do with GC.

This one (bug 71289) does. I don't know what you mean by stand out; it
doesn't need to stand out.
But each bug is different, e.g.:
- 71176 was a bug about GC messages not working well when
opening+closing frames, in some conditions
- this one (71289) is about GC messages not working well when resizing
the terminal, in some conditions

Here (bug 71289) you need a window manager to resize the window (the X
window that is running emacsclient).
The particular window manager you use isn't important, in fact I saw
the same errors happen in wmii and icewm.  Saying this is important,
because I was afraid that the problems could come from wmii (wmii
failing to communicate that an X window has been resized). But the
window manager isn't at fault in this bug 71289.
