I tried everything again from the beginning, and I _can_ reproduce this
with mutter 42.9 and gnome-shell 42.0. So I think you're right - this is
probably a mutter bug.

When I was testing initially, I relied on the built in chrome 'relaunch'
button, which does not give a full clean restart. I have to fully
restart the application for the bug to manifest (after re-enabling
hardware acceleration).

I tried to downgrade mutter to confirm that this package was the
problem, but I can't go all the way back to v42.0 without apt trying to
remove a whole bunch of critical packages. Unfortunately, I couldn't
find v42.5 in my local cache or the repositories, either, to test with.
Maybe you have a better suggestion that I could do to try and isolate
the offending package?

I haven't been able to reproduce this with any other applications,
though I don't really use anything that stresses the GPU (likes games
and such). I could look this weekend for something to try
