Windows fadeout flicker

Not sure if this have been filed or fixed but since it wasn't fixed between update 2 and 3 I thought I'd file it here.
When a window is set to fade away when closed (like for example http://www.onyxsoft.se/files/mplayergui.lha which is hardcoded to do this), the window often flashes back to full opacity just the moment is it closed.
I believe the reason for this is that just as the window is to be removed the parent (or next or whatever) window becomes active. This makes the closing window inactive triggering a redraw of the window frame or something which happens at full opacity just a fraction of a second before it is removed from the screen.
Or perhaps the fadedown overflows into a negative number resulting in full or almost full opacity just before closing.
