Bug confirmed on Debian Testing.

Is there a downgrade/upgrade option available that fixes this problem?

No matter what I do, doesn't seem like Xephyr gives me a window anything
other than 100x100.

Please test the patch I linked?

Thanks... But I think this would involve recompiling X server...

root@chii:/usr/local/src/deb# apt-get source xserver-xephyr
Reading package lists... Done

Picking 'xorg-server' as source package instead of 'xserver-xephyr'
E: Unable to find a source package for xorg-server

root@chii:/usr/local/src/deb# grep '^ *deb-src' /etc/apt/sources.list
deb-src http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free

Which would be an inconveniently lengthy process even if it did work.

In other news, I managed to revert to the Stable version
of Xephyr, which fixed the problem. It also now does XPutImage
calls right like I expect it to.

Here's how I did the downgrade:

  apt-get remove xserver-xephyr

  sed -i 's/testing/stable/g' /etc/apt/sources.list

  apt-get update

  aptitude install xserver-xephyr

  # Choose the second option offered, which involves downgrading xorg-related packages.

  sed -i 's/stable/testing/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
