I can't reproduce this here which may be due to a number of causes:

- There have been changes in the buffer display code in the last two
  weeks.

- Our settings wrt buffer display and compilation setup might differ.

- Our window managers differ.

So if possible please upgrade and give me a scenario using emacs -Q so I
can try to reproduce it.

Thanks, martin
