It's one of the hundreds of items on the wish list.  I don't know if
anyone is planning to work on it.  I agree that it's relatively important.

I suspect it's a bug in the chess engine you're using rather than
xboard.  To pin it down, run xboard with the -debug flag, redirect
stderr to a file, reproduce the bug, and send the resulting log.  Also
tell us what chess engine you're using.
