I'm not sure I agree. I believe this could belong to some new GUI
ideas (all of which are invariably copy-cat'ed from MS-Windows ;-),
whereby you have a means of showing a small-but-still-readable image
of an otherwise invisible frame, e.g., by hovering the mouse above
some desktop icon or widget. If that is the intent, then this is not
a bug, but a feature of those WMs, and an important/boastable feature
at that.

Not in the eyes of those beholders, it isn't.
But I do think this should be an optional feature (we could argue
later about the defaults). In an Emacs session with a dozen
invisible/iconified frames, updating those frames without the user's
say-so could be a misfeature and a performance hit.
