Following up on this, I see that an old KDE bug report [1] regarding this issue is marked WONTFIX, as it is seen as inherent problem of outline moving/resizing. One commenter points to an explanation in the Fluxbox FAQ [2]. Given the inherent problem described there, one might ask why, as I mentioned before, Fluxbox's *resizing*, as opposed to moving, does not block the display in the same way. Good question, but I can at least confirm that the "sections of rectangle appearing randomly around the screen" warned against in that explanation, indeed do occur when the resize outline in moved over changing screen content.
