It gets very confused by being abruptly disconnected from an X server (including machine B's X server in your scenario). Emacs is probably the only GTK-using application that has the ability to attach to and detach from X servers, so don't expect a fix. :-/ Emacs with ./configure --with-x-toolkit=no is very nice, and is fully functional as an X application. It's particularly nice if, like many of us here, you don't care about having a tool bar or menu bar.
