I have this problem under debian etch and SuSE.  It seems to be do
to a combination of the ATI Proprietary drivers and a 1680x1050
display resolution.  I does not happen when I use a 1280x1024 monitor.

It also happens when I don't have emacs running.  Overlapped urxvt and
mlterm (but not xterm windows) will show the effect when they are the
bottom of two overlapping windows and are scrolled.

I think is a problem (among many others) with the ATI proprietary
drivers.
