I highly doubt it is fixed. I have seen that for years as well - it is in fact why I switched over to emacs in X.
I have never bothered to file any bugs, as I know it is there in other distros just as well.
I've also noticed (that is why I doubt it's gone) that it doesn't always happen. It seems to be dependant on the cursor location when
exiting, but I've never been able to really found out what exactly could reproduce it.
