As others have deduced, the problem is that some WM's don't put
windows where you ask (twm and mwm seem to be the worst about this).
The minibuf.el code tries to compensate by deducing how far off the WM
displaces things, and adjusting its own request accordingly. It
calculates this displacement by moving the minibuffer to a fixed
location (0,0), and then seeing where it ends up. This is a kludge,
and I apoligize for it. While I haven't had time to fix it yet, I
believe that the correct solution is to use (on-map-do) to be sure
that that window has actually moved.

If you want to do repairs on the fly, you can twiddle the
minibuf-delta-x and minibuf-delta-y variables. If you always use the
same WM, you could actually just hardwire these to the "right" values,
which would solve the problem for you for now.
