ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It just happened to the Info Center window, ha. Anyway, I also have the panel where the icons only task bar is set to dodge windows, some windows will be fine, some others will not minimize where they should. If I make it so the panel shows, the windows *will* minimize correctly. Also, moving the mouse when restoring a window affected by this will also cause the restore animation to glitch out a bit.

Oh, and using the minimize shortcut will minimize the window to an area around the cursor, but not to the cursor itself.
