Sounds highly likely, indeed.

- The mode-line not being redrawn in the other window is expected.
  The patch below should fix it.
- But for some reason I couldn't reproduce it (looks like something
  somewhere in my tests is causing the extra redisplay needed).
  Ah, I could reproduce it by building --without-toolkit-scroll-bars, so
  it looks like the presence of toolkit scrollbars somehow plays an
  important role.
- The scroll-bar disappearance is not expected.  If the patch below
  makes this problem disappear, it's only because it hides it, not
  because it fixes it.
