[OS X Emacs] seeing artifacts from certain characters

I am seeing artifacts from certain characters (e.g. "@") when I
navigate through a buffer, or when Emacs moves the contents of my
buffer.
For example, here's a buffer after loading:
http://i28.tinypic.com/2079w7c.jpg
and here's what happens if I hit "ctrl-k" six times:
http://i30.tinypic.com/2cdg6x0.jpg
The effects are more pronounced with white-on-black, which is my usual
setup:
http://i31.tinypic.com/30avqtj.jpg
Hitting control-L or running (redraw-frame (selected-frame)) makes the
artifacts disappear.
This is OS X 10.5.7, Emacs 22.3.1 (downloaded from http://porkrind.org/emacs/Emacs-22.3-i386-10.5.7.dmg)
, with no .emacs or other customizations. I've seen the same behavior
with the latest CVS snapshot, and with the Carbon emacs package from http://homepage.mac.com/zenitani/emacs-e.htmlD
. I've also seen similar behavior in Aquamacs, although I couldn't get
this particular example to work because the default font is different
and I can't figure out how to change it to match.
Has anyone else seen this? I've been living with it for a long time,
but it is slowly driving me crazy.
Thanks!
Jon
