So, you claim this is indeed an FVWM problem. I am clueless.

Yes, it's minimal, but I can't think that the features above are related.
In the current snapshots "fvwm-config --info" also reports about:
shape (shaped windows): yes/no
It would be interesting to know whether you compiled with or without X
shape extension. You may execute "grep SHAPE config.h" to determine this.
Please also play with these style options to see whether they matter:
Style oclock BackingStore, SaveUnder
Style oclock BackingStoreOff, SaveUnderOff
