Yes.  That happens at TMC and CCA also.  It is almost certainly another
symtom of the same bug.  It is less annoying once you realize what is 
going on but quite possibly very devatating on EMACS performance since
the screen is being updated needlessly (and wrongly) quite often.

No one, however, has yet suggested a cause or a fix...
