Note first that I have not xv on my machine (xv has disappeared from
some distributions as Redhat and Mandrake). You should try:

  Style "match_xv" MoveByProgramMethod IgnoreGravity
or
  Style "match_xv" MoveByProgramMethod UseGravity

However, maybe the ICCCM/Traditional move method can be improved: Do
not make any conclusion for window which are larger than the screen.

It does not seems that this is related to the new ICCCM/Traditional
move stuff. For me this depends on the position of the main display
window (if it is at top left then the transient image info pop up on
my screen).  I think it is a Transient Windows placement problem (or
miss-feature).
