Probably and issue with Xorg insets, non-reparenting WMs have these problems
pretty much always (all tiling WMs are non-reparenting as far as I'm aware).
In my Xmonad I solve that by setting:
startupHook = setWMName "LG3D"
I tell Xorg that I'm using LG3D, which is a WM that existed before the insets,
so Xorg does not use them.
Never use awesome and I cannot find a reliable doc that would tell me the
awesome option to achieve that (maybe I'm just bad at searching). But there is
the suckless program to set the WM name directly into Xorg:

Which would bypass the awesome config.
All in all, this is an educated guess,
