Has anyone on Windows seen this happen?

FWIW, I haven't experienced it once (AFAICR) in the year that I've
been using Emacs on Windows. I'm using EmacsW32 on Windows XP, but
with an AutoHotKey script that gives me Swedish Dvorak. I also quite
rarely use the arrow keys, so I don't know if that's helpful.
