I encountered the same problem, more information:

* Does not occur in 18.55 .
* My cursor just gets "stuck" (in either empty or full position).
* One way I can regenerate the bug: When my login window (no other window)
  overlaps emacs' window and I move the cursor from the login window into
  emacs ----> BOOM.
Observations: Happens under (several versions of) "twm", but not under
  "uwm" (could not regenerate the above bug). Once the cursor gets stuck
  it stays stuck (even if I kill twm).
