I have for long time had a fix for this in the patched version of Emacs+EmacsW32 too. This patch is incomplete, since the bottom part of Emacs window, below the minibuffer (or at the bottom part of it) is sometimes not redrawn. I would be glad to incorporate your patch there for testing. There has been no complaints about the current patch, except for the redrawing which is a little beauty problem in only some special cases. However that does not mean that I know that it is otherwise correct. Kim said once that he was unsure whether there are problems with maximized windows and the current display code.
