gnome-shell windows sometimes all black

Sometimes, new windows open in gnome-shell show up as
tastefully-rendered black rectangles.  Sometimes shrinking one of these
windows fixes the problem, but it's pretty annoying.

I didn't find anything with a precursory check of bugzilla.  Was just
about to file a bug, but wondered if anyone else had seen this behavior?
