Sven's solution worked for me also, I didn't noticed weird corruptions after replacing the metacity with an older one (10.10). Beside of that, I encounter a pretty similar problem when playing with the tooltip on the 'workspaces' preferences in the bottom right corner of the desktop (see the attached screenshot) - a small purple area remain unrefreshed in the place where the tooltip was raised. Anyone else experience this strange thing ? Sorry if this is not really related to this defect, but this appeared to be fine when replacing the metacity binary.
