I'll bet the damage is somehow computed before the window is redirected
by Composite. Damage has this mode where it saves regions from *before*
an action, and then reports them *after* an action. If that action
redirects the window, the region is probably left relative to the old
window state.

Non override-redirect windows wouldn't get this as they go through a
very different path due to the window manager interaction.
