Yes -- this is still present in Epoch4.0beta.  The simple solution is to
change the line in src/screen.c from

   size_hints.flags |= (gmask & (XValue|YValue)) ? USPosition : PPosition;
to
   size_hints.flags |= PPosition;

And set 
	UsePPosition "on"
in your .twmrc file.

This doesn't happen under Epoch4.0beta on an IPX running SunOS 4.1.1 and tvtwm.
