It's reproducible on SIP/PyQt 3.1, Qt 3.0.3 and Python 2.2 - but I'm
none the wiser.

It's like a re-draw problem. If you press Del, then don't generate
another event but partially overlay the "deleted" box with another
window, then move the window away, then the overlaid part is re-drawn
correctly.
