Oh, of course, I asked about ClearType because it obviously had no
relation whatsoever... :)

There are issues with ClearType; see for example this item from
admin/FOR-RELEASE:

** Drew Adams 12 Aug bug rpt: overlay  display artifact: trace left behind
Windows only bug. Bug appears only when Cleartype enabled, probably related
to the hack introduced on 2005-07-01 to fix some other Cleartype problem.

In fact, your problem could be related to the original problem fixed
by Jason's original patch of 2005-07-01.

BTW, what font are you using in your tests? Or does it happen with any font?
