I tried to reproduce the issue.
Good news: It's still reproducible on my system.
Also good news: It's reproducible on a build without your patches.

My system is a Debian stretch with XFCE as WindowManager.

Digging a little into this I found out, that the behavior changes with enabling the
glx-backend in my compositor.

Since running without a compositor isn't the usual use-case I am not sure if this issue
is worth tracking down.
