I'd be very curious as well.  Could you maybe post some explanation in the bug?
 Chromium's test_shell also renders onscreen, but I'd like them to move towards
a model similar to DRT where the window is offscreen instead.  You sound like
you have reasons not to move to such?  When is the backing store for a window
going to be different from the contents captured some other way?  When OpenGL
is in play?
