Me too. In the past, the screen was redrawn once when it was unlocked. I 
can't recall any instances of queued redraws, at least, none that were 
visible to the user, though maybe someone else has seen it. There's the 
lockmoves thing, but I don't think that's exactly the same.

So far, it sounds like this change concerns garbage collection but not 
behavior changes. And yet, there's a whole section in the notes about it 
so I'd like to understand for sure.
