I don't think the bug is rare. I do think that this bug being triggered
is rare, since we don't have many non-idle timers in Emacs that trigger
redisplay (are there others in Emacs core besides the display-time event
handler?). It might be fun to work for a while with a dummy timer which
triggers redisplay once a second or so.

I also think this bug is seldomly reported because it's impossible to
give a recipe if you don't know that it is a timer that triggers it
(which is why I never bothered to report the bug in speck-mode).
