Indeed, tricky. I experimented with this a bit. I can reproduce this if I change your script from while true to for x in 1 2 3 (so it does that only three times) but, and this is important, move the xterm so that its bottom is below the bottom end of the X11 screen. If I move the syslog terminal up by a few pixels, the problem does not happen. If I use other terminal, font, etc. sizes, I also get display corruption effects which vary (see screenshot). If I switch virtual workspaces (Ctrl-Alt-[1-8←→] in evilwm) the effects go away as well. Maybe you can reproduce it with this info?
