I've taken a look, and tracked it down this far: While setting up, the graphics device installs a callback called HelpExpose that's called when drawing the window. For some reason I haven't figured out, rescale="fixed" causes this to be called before the window is ready, and junk in the structure leads to the error. I won't be able to do any more on this for a couple of days.
