Ah ;-) Yes, it was metacity...

Well, the window state management code in the gdk/win32 backend is
quite hairy, and no doubt has bugs... I am afraid of touching it,
though, as fixing one corner case might break another, without me
noticing. I would almost recomment you manually keep track of where
the window should be after re-showing it, and move it there explicitly
if necessary ;-)
