I can confirm this.
When using compiz, the area selector works fine but the recording is messed up 
(and compiz is not yet working/stable/glitch free for everyone).

as a (quick and dirty) workaround, I forced byzanz to set a root window
when selecting an area in src/byzanzselect.c by breaking the test on
line 195. It now looks like:

   if (0 && rgba) {
     gtk_widget_set_colormap (data->window, rgba);
   } else {
     GdkWindow *root = gdk_get_default_root_window ();
     gint width, height;
     gdk_drawable_get_size (root, &width, &height);
     data->root = gdk_drawable_get_image (root, 0, 0, width, height);
   }

It is not a proper solution but it allows to use it in the meantime.
