Good.  Now let's see what are these two glyph rows:

 (gdb) prowx a
 (gdb) prowx b
 (gdb) pgrowx a
 (gdb) pgrowx b

The last two commands will display all the display elements
(characters, references to images and display strings, etc.) in each
glyph row.  Assuming it is not a total garbage, please try to describe
what happened on the screen around these glyph rows (== screen lines).

A bit of a background: scrolling_window, the function that called
row_equal_p, is comparing the previous and the new contents of a
window, trying to figure out which screen lines need to be redrawn and
which can be reused from the previous redisplay cycle.  row_equal_p is
the comparison function.  So one of the glyph rows should be from the
window before some update, the other glyph row is from the new
contents of the window.  They could be identical or they could be
different.

If this is an unoptimized build, this shouldn't happen, and perhaps
it's a compiler bug.  Or maybe GCC 4.6 does some optimizations even
with -O0.
