Update on this; it definitely has nothing to do with DrRacket, I can reproduce it directly in Racket with a frame% wrapper. Also, thanks to Northwestern’s lengthier nightly snapshot trail, I’ve discovered that the regression was apparently introduced between 6.10.1.1 and 6.10.1.2, although it’s not present (thankfully) in the 6.11 release, suggesting that it’s related to a change that wasn’t picked for the release.
Anyhow, looks like a gui bug, so I submitted a GitHub issue against the gui repo. Hope that’s the right place… though now that I’m looking at the commit logs on gui, it looks like this might just belong on the racket/racket repo.
