Investigating a little further, it seems that Emacs is not the only X client affected. So far though, meld is the only other app I've found that is affected in a similar (although more severe) manner. Haven't yet had a chance to try other combinations of OS on each end with meld (affected = Ubuntu X server, meld on Debian over ssh).
