Can you give a recipe for reproducing this problem?

Does it only happen with a build from the trunk?  Or do you see this 
problem with Emacs 24.2 and/or a build from the emacs-24 branch?

Is it specific to the Lucid toolkit or does it also happen with a GTK+ 
build (as in the version of Emacs in the Cygwin distribution)?
