Are you handling the dragging manually, by handling mouse events and setting the window's frame? The issue is almost certainly due to System Preferences > Mission Control > Displays have separate Spaces. When that is enabled (the default), windows can't span displays. They are clipped to the display which contains the majority of their area. That's what you're seeing. The real question is how is it that a normal window shows semi-transparent when it's being dragged. The answer to that is that the window server manages the window drag. It's not Cocoa in the individual app process. The window server is special and can do things that an app can't, such as make a window span multiple displays when Displays have separate Spaces is enabled.
