This is a known bug in the R3 Xt implementation. Although the fix for uwm is not too complicated, the fix for real window managers is somewhat more so, so you'll have to wait 'till R4. If you use XTranslateCoordinates for now, you will be able to easily replace it with a call to XtTranslateCoords when you get the working R4 version.
