When you say "not being repainted in the correct place", do you mean
that it's repainted, but *incorrectly*, correctly repainted but in an
incorrect *place*, or that it's not repainted at all?

Is the reparent really relevant here? If not, the same happens
whenever you move one top-level window of the same application over
its other top-level window(s). (Bug #99540) This will be fixed
eventually, I hope.

That souds like something new, please file a bug report on
bugzilla.gnome.org so it won't be forgotten.
