I disagree with the bug. If you increase the hot area (either in the theme
or hardcoded in metacity), you either:

  a) break or knowingly disable resizing from the top corners (although the
  buttons action only on mouseup, and you could ignore potential
  button-clicks after moves/resizes, that's totaly iffy)

  b) make it that much easier to screw up clicking in that region

I don't think Fitt's Law applies to potentially dangerous operations. :-)
