Thanks for reporting this.

I tried to reproduce this issue with that VirtualBox RPM on a Centos 6.7 
VM, without success.

It's not unusual for X clients to create 1x1 pixel windows which only 
exist to receive events, but such windows are usually hidden by making 
them InputOnly.

You could possibly explore this a bit using xwininfo, to determine if 
this is a bug with VirtualBox (where the window isn't being correctly 
marked as hidden) or XWin (where the window is being show, desipte the 
fact it should be hidden)
