I think this is the same bug as #16619, which we closed because it
seemed fixed.  However, I never checked the appearance of tooltip
frames in *Completions*, since I normally do not use tooltips.

The behavior I notice now concerns only tooltip frames - specifically
tooltips shown on completion candidates in buffer *Completions*: those
tooltips are semi-transparent.  I do not see the problem with tooltips
elsewhere.

Please see bug #16619 for background and context.  This is with my
setup.  The regression started with Emacs 23.1 - there is no problem
with Emacs 22.

And just as for what was noticed during the bug #16619 thread, if I set
`frame-alpha-lower-limit' to 100 instead of the default value of 20 then
the problem disappears.

(Of course, I do not want to do that in general, and this is for code
that other users will use - I cannot expect them to tweak
`frame-alpha-lower-limit'.  IOW, that workaround might help you
understand the problem and possibly find a solution, but it is not,
itself, a solution.)

Note that in my setup, *Completions* is a separate frame, and its input
is redirected to my standalone minibuffer frame.  Dunno whether this is
pertinent, but it might help to know it.

Please see bug thread #16619, which apparently isolates the commit that
introduced that regression.  (I'm guessing that that regression has been
only partly fixed and this report is about the same problem.)
