This bug (or at least something very similar, judging from strace
output) is happening to me too. I use sawfish, and on several occasions
it has occurred without workspace switching or any other kind of window
mapping/unmapping. A loaded system hasn't been a necessary factor
either.

I've been using a fairly static setup for many years with Emacs 21 and
sawfish, with Gnome at the bottom, and for me this problem has become
worse over the past half year or so, in Gutsy and Hardy, so it
definitely isn't gone. Nowadays I get it several times a week.

I'm getting the same thing on two different computers of different age,
both which I regularly upgrade with each new Ubuntu release, so I
believe it's a software regression somewhere, although it might not be
Emacs.

Guess the only way to take this forward is to compile a binary with
debug symbols and start to use it regularly. Then a gdb backtrace should
be more interesting. One of these days I might be bored/annoyed enough
to do that.
